Do your best to keep the Diamondback stock. The grips on my Smith 35 aren't the originals (although they are genuine Smiths), and I've kept the original grips just in case, although I like the target grips much better. That gun will never see rubber grips. I just don't like them. |

Skeeter1:
1)Yes, I will keep my Diamondback completely stock! I agree with you that the factory target stocks are really good looking-and, the wood graining on my Diamondback's target stocks is beautiful!  2)I also don't like rubber stocks(Especially seems silly on just a .22!)!:barf: |

That's a beautiful weapon!
I have one just like it except for 6" bbl. Diamondbacks are really a class act.

Colt Diamondback
There is a Sweet Looking Nickel DB on GB as we speak... Looks like it's waiting for some big bucks to be offered... I'm sure it's well worth it to the Snake collectors...

Here are a couple of pics, first is my Diamondback, second is my Python and Diamondback together. Note that my Diamondback has a silver medallion on the grips. My Diamondback is vintage 1968. I'm wondering if at some later date, they changed to a gold medallion?
