Yup. That's a Cooey, from Cobourg Ontario. I still remember going to the hardware store with my Dad in 1958 and coming home with a Model 39 for $14. Still have both mine and his, which he bought in 1940 and carried thousands of miles on a dog toboggan. His still out-shoots mine.

Many were re-badged for various retailers; mine is marked "Hiawatha", as it came from a McLeods Hardware. Winchester bought Cooey out in the '70s. I have one new/unfired one from the transition that bears both roll marks, and is marked "Model 75" rather than "39".
