Little help on gun value

[Republic of Mass]

This is a NIB Davis Industries D-22, .22lr two-shot blue w/ pearl grips. It's never been fired or carried, and is in 99% condition, transferable FTF in Massachusetts.

What do you think this would go for in Massachusetts?

According to the 29th Edition of the Blue Book, these were made from 1995-2001. The last listed MSRP was $75. Today, In 100% condition, they're valued at a whopping $65. However, you could probably get a little more for it in Mass because of the compliance issue.

Just a little more?

Just a little more?

If it were .32 H&R Magnum, .38 Special or 9mm it would be worth more.
The book shows $90 in 100% condition.
IMHO, .22LR is not the desireable caliber for one of these hideout pieces. Most people (myself included) would want one that makes a bigger boom.

 

[Republic of Mass]

I completely agree, but figured since they're rare in the Commonwealth it'd fetch a bit more.

Allllright, I'll pass that on to my coworker. Thx for looking it up!

There is a guy on Gunbroker that has a bunch of these listed at $199, I don't know if he actually sells any at that price.

Only proves once again that P.T. Barnum was right.

Except that this David Hannum quote is wrongly attributed to Barnum

I bet you could get $300 for it, especially in the MA market.

I had a stainless .38/.357 American Derringer that I paid about $460 for.

Now that's a palm-pounder with .357's!

I never really understood the .22 Derringer, you can get semi-auto's in the same caliber that hold at least 5 more rounds.

 

[MARINE96]

If you can fetch over a $100 for that you are doing well.

i paid 100.00 for my davis 32.cal last year at coin collectors in stoneham.

 

[Mr.Bill]

I do have to say, the only thig good that Davis ever made was these Derringers.
There rugged little shooters, and as far as having one in 22 only? Well theres an old saying ( Its better to have something, than nothing)
