Are these flat jobs with the narrow slot what yer looking for?
I have one on my '54 39A but they don't fit much else.

That's why you can't get one to fit, Marlins are built in America and made with inches 
The hammer slot on these are 1/4" ...maybe 9/32"
Measuring a few of these round ones and they're all 8 or 9 of those mm you were talking about...looks like the flat ones are maybe 7mm but likely less. Not much precision going on here though. I just came inside for a coffee and a tape measure is all I have at hand.

Marlin didn't have hammer spurs for the pre D&T models 55/56 ish
Uncle Mike's makes a spur for all the D&T models from 57 on.

From what I have been reading, prior to '57 Marlin didn't D&T any of their rifles so hammer extensions weren't an issue. If you have a pre D&T era rifle that has been D&T you may have trouble finding a hammer spur.
That said, I have a '54 39a and it has a JM marked hammer spur identical to the flat ones in the pics I posted...so who knows...The flat ones in the pic have considerably smaller hammer grooves in them than any of the other round style spurs I have, even though it doesn't look like it in the pic, and they won't fit on any of my other Marlins...sadly. I like the flat ones better.

I finally had to swap out the hammer for a newer iteration of said hammer to get a spur to fit the 1968 Marlin 336. It's a 10 minute job, if you can find the hammer...
Check with CGN member Wild Bill Hickok. I think he has one of the blade styles left (I bought 2 off him). It may work. Practical Performance Products also may have one blade style left (dims for the this one were: slot 0.30 across and .10 in depth). There is an Allen screw for fit adjustment.
