    Picked up a used BDE 40 S&W Compact Poly frame.
    I emailed MR and got a date of 10/2002
    I don’t know much about the gun and what series it would be since there are 3 series of them ( I can pretty much rule out series III)
    Also don’t know the value of it since there is very little online about it.
    The gun itself looks brand new, not a scratch or wear spot anywhere. Owner I got it from said he shot 250 rounds out of it and never shot it after that.
    Anyone know much about them??
    I did attach a few pictures of the gun
    Thanks for any help with information

    Sorry, I have a Magnum Research "Baby Eagle", and it's a .40S&W, but mine is a steel frame
    They are entirely different animals I assume.
    You know what they say about assuming...

    Good luck.
    Someone more knowledgeable than myself should be along sooner or later.

    They're a licensed CZ75 derivative (more changes than a clone, like the slide mounted safety and different internal parts).
    Nothing even close to a full size Desert Eagle other than the rough profile.

    Should be an awesome gun. I've never heard complaints about them.

    Value wise they're not junk but nothing remarkable either. 40's out of favor which hurts it. The pawn shop near my has a full size model also in .40 for mid-400s
