Colt ~ Diamondback ~ .38 Special

This Colt Diamondback chambered in .38 Special is an early-production example, serial number D3826, manufactured in 1967. Featuring the desirable 2.5-inch barrel, ventilated rib, adjustable sights, and classic Colt walnut grips with silver medallions, this revolver showcases the styling that made the Diamondback famous. Condition is good overall, with honest handling wear, finish loss in high-contact areas, and light cosmetic marks consistent with age and use. Introduced by Colt in 1966, the Diamondback was designed as a premium small-frame revolver that captured the look and feel of the legendary Python in a more compact package. Built on Colt's D-frame and offered in .38 Special and .22 LR, the Diamondback quickly earned a reputation for excellent handling, accuracy, and distinctive styling.
