    New Definition of "nice even patina"!

    Interesting Diamondback 2.5" for sale in Missouri:

    ARMSLIST - For Sale/Trade: Colt Diamondback Blue 21/2 Inch .38 SPL Revolver

    "Nice even patina..."

    The ejector rod head is missing. That's the deal breaker for me.

    and i'm sure that Mr. Fugate will turn a handsome profit after it has been professionally refinished.
    i still stand by my post that basically stated the wear description was a stretch. no disrespect to the forum member intended, but damn!
