Collectors place particular interest on early Hamden-made examples, especially those with grooved backstraps, which are often regarded as more desirable due to their earlier craftsmanship and limited production. Later East Hartford models introduced refinements and saw variations in roll markings, including shifts between “D-100,” “D-101,” and “DM-101” designations. Near the end of production, “V” suffix pistols were released as discounted firearms with minor cosmetic flaws but fully functional mechanics, some shipped as late as 1984. Today, these derringers are valued not only as representative pocket guns of their time but also for the wide range of production variations, serial ranges, and markings, which provide collectors with a rich and detailed field of study.
