Firearms

Values are based on the actual condition of the firearm and whether any modifications have been done to it, such as re-bluing or drilling and tapping for scope mounts, etc. Condition depends on how much of the original finish (stock and metal) is remaining and if there are any dings, dents, scratches, etc on it. It's really best to take the firearm to someone local or to a gun show for an estimate of worth.

What is the value of a daisy vl 22 good condition and still fires?

This is a very interesting rifle. Notice I did not say air rifle. When Daisy developed this rifle it was for the air rifle market. It used a propellant mass as a charge. it was about to go into mass production when Senator Kennedy was shot, because of the backlash from the public Daisy stopped production after making 25,000 models, The model years were 1968-1969. (Daisy dropped the project all together.) There were three versions of the rifle. The standard version was the VL and 19,000 VL's were made.

It used a 29 grain bullet and fired at 1150 FPS. Very fast for that era. It is considered in it's own class as a firearm and an air gun. cartridges are no longer made for this rifle. (Caseless air-ignited cartridge)

In good condition it is worth around $145

BATFE ruled that this gun is a FIREARM. Daisy is not licensed to make firearms.

Can you use semi auto rounds in your revolever?

For MOST revolvers- no. MOST semi auto rounds are rimless, and most revolver rounds are rimmed. There can also be a difference in energy- .32 auto is much hotter than .32 S&W ammo.

HOWEVER- there ARE revolvers that were made to use an auto pistol cartridge, such as 9mm Parabellum. There were reports of problems, not highly popular. Some, such as the .45 Colt revolver could be adapted to .45 ACP ammo using a "moon clip" that held 3 of the rimless cartridges.

So it really depends on WHICH revolver and WHICH cartridge.

What kind of revolver has a crown over a R?

One that was made in Belgium. What you see is a proof mark. In many European countries, firearms must be submitted to the government proof house for testing (being "proven" safe to shoot). The crown above the letter R was a mark of the Proof House of Liege, Belgium that went into use in 1852 for handguns. Beyond that, it does not tell us anything about WHO made it, or what it is. Sort of like the Underwriter's Lab sticker on an electrical appliance. Sticker does not tell me what the appliance is, just that it is safe to use.

When was your Detonics pistol made the serial number is 4219?

Either sometime between 1976 and 1987 or else sometime between 2007 and today (from 1987 onwards, the company operated as "New Detonics" until it was shut down in 1992).

Serial numbers aren't unique to one firearm, and we don't know even know what model pistol you have (Detonics has more than one model in their line). If you call their customer service at (618) 476-3200 and can provide them with the exact model, they could probably do more for you than we could here.
