Default devel 39-2

I have a Devel 39-2 ser#206 with DeSantos belt holster and ankle holster. I also have three devel mags w/ DeSantos mag holder. The gun is in good condition with some discoloring on the weapon. Nothing has been replaced on the weapon. I'm considering selling the weapon but, I don't know what the current value is. Does anybody know ?

Short answer: A LOT!

Long answer: Search the internet for successfully completed sales.
If you're not a member of Gun Broker you can join for $1. They run your credit card to ensure at least some degree of legitamacy. then you can use the advanced features of Gun Broker to search for complete auctions. Given what that gun would bring you'll be able to afford the $1.

A more detailed internet search may turn up completed sales at other auction sites too.

The SCSW 4th edition, now roughly a year old, suggests prices for ASP models (similar concept?) roughly around $1500 ("$1,500 to $850 range" which I suspect is a misprint and should probably read $1,500 to $1850 range?).

Out of curiosity I checked completed auctions on Gun Broker. The search option for completed auctions only goes back about 3 months. There have only been two auctions for DEVEL Smith and Wesson conversions.
A 39-2 conversion sold for $3280.
A Model 59 conversion sold for $2730.


Also of interest:
In 2015 a 39-2 DEVEL sold on Gunauction.com for $1950.
In 2012 Lock, Stock, and Barrel sold a 39-2 DEVEL at auction for $4300.
In 2004 a 39-2 DEVEL sold on Gunauction.com for $752.

Simple, there is no current value. How about that answer?
You go to a show, put $4000 on it and see if you get a bite.
You just troll and see if there is any interest. Hint, the guy with the long tongue and cash, is the guy.

I have a couple of DEVELs. The 39-2 is nice, though I'm partial to the 59 conversion. Please post some photos. Value will depend on whether the conversion is the Function/Reliability, Basic or Full-House. Are the Desantis holsters marked for the DEVEL pistol?

Default Devel 39-

My Devel 39-2 conversion I beleive is the full house. The DeSantos holsters came with the weapon. They were fit for the weapon when I ordered it. I will send photos shortly.
