2/26/19 - Inspired by the success of the Colt Python, the Diamondback was manufactured and released beginning in 1966, and resembles a scaled-down version of the Python. This particular revolver was made in 1967, the second year of production, and is in mint, original condition. There is hardly even a roll mark on the cylinder! Four inch barrel with a mint bore - hardly any sign of use. The gun is accompanied by the original, matching box. C&R eligible!
