Description

The Colt Diamondback is a highly collectible, double-action revolver known for its resemblance to the more famous (and larger) Colt Python, but built on the smaller D-frame. It was manufactured from 1966 to 1988 and is available in .22 LR and .38 Special calibers.
Key Features and Details
Calibers: The Diamondback was produced in both .22 LR and .38 Special. The .22 LR version is particularly popular as a training or plinking gun due to cheaper ammunition and its high collectibility.
Barrel Lengths: Available with 2.5-inch, 4-inch, and 6-inch barrels. The 6-inch barrel version is considered harder to find, particularly in good condition.
Design: It features a distinctive ventilated rib barrel and full-length underlug, adjustable target sights, and a wide serrated target hammer.
Finish: The revolvers were offered in both blue and nickel finishes. Nickel-plated versions tend to be more valuable in the collector's market.
Collectibility: Since production ceased in 1988, these firearms have become highly sought after by collectors, driving prices up significantly. Unfired, collector-grade examples with original boxes and paperwork can fetch high prices at auction.
