Today I bought a used 2.5" Colt Diamondback in .38 Special. Gorgeous condition, not a mark on it, with fabulous bluing. It really looks like it's unfired, or if it was fired it sure wasn't much (no rings on the cylinder face, etc). Lockup is tight as a drum. Came with the original box, warranty card, and even the receipt of the person that originally bought it (one owner before me, he purchased it in May of 1970). Serial number is D333xx.
The only thing I suspect was changed on it were the grips, which are a hard rubber (I assume Diamondbacks came with wood grips?).
Any idea what this is worth? I'd like to hear some estimates before I reveal what I paid.
