Price check -- Colt Diamondback ??

[Gunfighter123]

Hello All,
Looking for a price on a Colt Diamondback Nickle 4" wood grips in 98% but no box/papers ???
Thanks in advance ---- GF123

Haven't seen a decent one for under $900 for quite a while. Saw a nickle 4" .38 in Cabela's on Saturday with box in their gun library and they wanted $1,400+.

What caliber?

I have a Blue Colt diamond back on consignment at Elk Castle gun shop Fort Worth TEXAS.
817 246 4622 . Asking $850 but wil take $800

Saw a 4" blue .22 Diamondback at a Kansas gun show recently, asking price was $1300. I have a 6", the guy said they were a bit less valuable. I don't know whether his price was fair, as I don't think I've seen one for sale for a long, long time.

For pricing, browse completed auctions at GunBroker. Should be pretty easy to see what they have sold for in the last few months. Caliber is very important; the 22's sell for more than the 38spls. They are just less common and tend to be more sought after by the folks that like Diamondbacks.

Thanks for the help --- got one in a trade {.38} ---- it REALLY makes me wish I never sold my .357 Python !!!

Ok, I see all this talk about them, my grandfather just gave me a bunch of old guns he had. only 2 of which are in nice condition, he did tell me this was more of a rare one:
From what I can tell, its Unfired, the short barrel, chambered in .22LR, no scratches or wear, but no box or no papers, what would something like this be worth?


the serial # puts it manufactured between 1969-1970.

I had a chance to buy one years ago at a gun show for $350. Condition was near perfect, but I thought the price was much more than I was willing to pay at that time (around 1985). Now I wish I had bought a hundred of them and waited for today's rediculous prices. (Yeah, I know...I could have taken the same money and invested in a hundred other things and made more money, but I think you get my general point.)

i find cabelas online gun libary for spendy guns the best place to look at prices

That snub .22 wirth out the factory grips or box and papers is worth a QUICK $900. And the 6" .22 mentioned before is rarer than a 4" and the 2.5" .22 is rarest lenght, other than a weird 3" or something freakish.

The price on Diamondbacks has gotten ridiculous. They are not Pythons.

the guy said they were a bit less valuable

Cause everybody knows a gun dealer wouldn't lie in order to inflate his product.
