Of course the 39A. They stopped making the 39 in 1938. Sorry, should have specified.
Thanks, I couldn’t find the 39 listed in the stores but didn’t know the history.
Looks like it closer to $330 difference, more than double the price of the Henry. I suspect them to have quite a difference in quality for that price difference.
