Hey all I'm thinking about trading into a Desert Eagle MK1, are these decent guns? Do you think the gun is worth at least $825? here is a picture:

That case is nice!
I have a Mark I in .357. They're great guns, accurate and when run with the proper ammo and proper grip, they do not jam. Make sure the bullets have a thick jacket on them, not plated, and definitely not lead! Or, you'll have a single shot in short order. Sounds like a good deal, especially with a custom case. I paid $700 for mine, but that was oh....almost 20 years ago now. Mine was built in 1985, and was in some of the first crates imported into the US. I called Magnum Research to have the serial number date checked. |

I know with the MK 7's you can't go up in caliber, so that is something you might want to look into if you want to have a 50AE barrel! |

that's an awesome case, to have one made today, assuming you can find anyone under the age of 70 that even knows how to rub two sticks together would cost at least $300.
is that 26xxx? I think I have a 44 that isn't too far away in serial number. |

The outside has some scuffs from age but other than that is beautiful. |
