I recently purchased as used baby eagle from the local shop. (expect an initial range report soon)
I'm not too well versed in the history of these guns so I thought somebody here could help me out. First, here are the various stampings that can be seen on the gun.
on the right side:
MADE IN ISRAEL H3
WARNING READ MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING
MAGNUM RESEARCH INC
MPLS MN USA
on the left side:
DESERT EAGLE PISTOL
ISRAEL MILITARY INDUSTRIES LTD (IMI)
My understanding is that when they stopped stamping it "Jericho" they started stamping it "baby eagle" but this one says neither.
It's a semi-compact in .40cal
Any ideas about era of manufacture?
Also, it came with two magazines, 10-rounders with red plastic followers, one of them (just one) is stamped with a T in a triangle (Tanfoglio?) Do you suppose these were the original magazines sold with the gun?
Thanks
