Okay, howitzer jokes and alike aside I wanted to get some opinions on this..
I bought a 44 Mag. Desert Eagle Mk I back in the mid to late 1990's. I bought it used from a very popular shop in Manchester, NH. The gun is a great blaster and totally a fun gun. 44 Mag makes it reasonable to shoot and it performs well. Several times over the years, I've considered selling it but the custom finish has made me think twice and I've kept it. I've seen quite a few DE pistols in local shops and on the web but NEVER one like mine. It's a deep polished blue with polished chrome accents. I was never big on the outrageous gangsta style finishes (i.e. gold, tigerstipes, etc.) but I always felt this behemoth has a certain class and style in blue and chrome. I fairly certain the finish is original but I wanted to see if I could confirm it with Magnum Research and if I could score the year of manufacture and destination of the pistol I'd like to know. So I called MR and gave them the serial number.. The customer service rep said that it is a pre-1988 gun and the records are kept in Israel so he couldn't tell me anything else.
I'm kinda bummed... Does anyone know anything about this? Does this mean my DE was actually made in Israel and imported? I was really hoping to prove the original owner was someone famous... I know it's shooting for the moon (pun intended).
