I have been offered a Desert Eagle .44 magnum pistol in a trade deal. How do I tell which version it is? It is an Israeli made version. I will try to post some poor pics in a minute.

I don't know much about them but your says made in Israel. I thought the later models were made in the US. I could be wrong but that's a place to start. Also check the serial number with them. That should tell you something too.

I think the 3/8 dove tail and hook type safety lever make it a mark VII.
Trying to make this pdf link work from MRI website. Edited out It didn't work. There is a pdf that explains the difference between the 3 This link works https://www.magnumresearch.com/PDF/Distinction_MarkI-XIX.pdf |

Sadly, none of their PDF's work on their website. You can open them, but the FAQ's sections do not work.

Yep, it is a Mk VII. Looks to be in very nice shape.
If it was a Mk I it would have teardrop shaped safety levers. The hook shape is the Mk VII style. It will be 44 only. You can not swap on a 50 AE barrel. So just keep that in mind if you were thinking you could put a 50 barrel on it. I used to have a 44 Mk VII for years. I love it and it was fun to shoot. However I really wanted a 50 cal, so I ended up selling it to buy a 50 AE that also came with a 44 barrel. |
