QUESTION: I tried to go to this site: http://pez63.freeyellow.com, but I got an error message. Approximately how much are Davis doubles worth? I saw one in an online auction and the reserve price was $650.00. Is this way out of range? I traded approximately $300 worth of merchandise for the gun. Did I get the best or the worst of the trade?

Answer
Hi again,
The website is long dead.
A couple of models of Davis guns are worth $800 to $1000 in excellent condition.
Grade A,B, and C Hammerless, Drade D and DS Hammer Guns, and Davis "B" Magna steel.

Most NR Davis guns are worth $100 to $450 depending on model and condition.
$275 is typical for most guns in very good condition.
