Colt .38 Diamondback 2.5 inch

[gmh1013]

What would the average price for one in outstanding condition?

 

[Guillermo]

$800 would be a good price

 

[sw282]

In the box $1000+

Blue or nickel?

I think the nickel ones are going for more.

 

[Randall]

At the big show in Tulsa $2000 to $2500 for excellent condition with the box.

I saw several Diamondbacks in excellent condition for $800 or so a month ago, blued but NOT in the 2.5 inch. I'd suspect you're talking a grand for that.

 

[Randall]

I saw 4 and 6" in excellent condition for $800 to $1200 at the Tulsa show,the 2.5" is the high dollar length.I couldn't believe they were higher than Python's.

The 2.5" was always the most desireable of the Diamondbacks in terms of price.

Nickle Diamondback .22 6" Barrel Value

I bought a new .22 diamondback nickle finish about 25 years ago and may have test fired it but may not. I do not have the box any more. I also bought rubber grips and also have the stock wood grips. I was considering selling it but I don't know what to ask.
From what I've read the .22 is worth mor than .38 and the Nickle finish is even more. The .22 nickle finish is about as rare as Chicken lips
can anybody confirm that ??? they are listed on Guns America at about $1,600. ???? can that be right ???? I thought $ 1,000 might be high ???
Wish I had bought 6 of them.
Thanks
