Atlas Collectible Firearms is absolutely ecstatic to present an investment-grade 1978 Colt Diamondback that defines the word scarcity. Chambered in .38 Special with the classic 4-inch ventilated rib barrel, this particular snake gun is a factory special-order masterpiece. Finding a Diamondback in this configuration is a monumental task for even the most advanced and dedicated Colt collectors.
The revolver is finished in a brilliant factory bright nickel plating that remains mirror-bright and exceptionally crisp. What sets this specimen apart are the factory-original rosewood target stocks, specifically noted on the original box end label under the options code "RW". The contrast between the rich, dark rosewood grain and the radiant nickel finish creates a truly breathtaking aesthetic. Another aspect that sets this piece apart from the rest is it is one of the desirable early models with factory Nickel plated sights!
This 100% complete package includes the original woodgrain box with matching serial number label, manual, and hangtag. This New Old Stock example remains in collector grade condition, showing no signs of consumer use or handling. Only faint ghost powder rings are present on every other chamber from factory test firing. This is a blue-chip investment piece for the serious firearm historian.
