Colt Diamond Back .22 LR (C9570) - Collectors Firearms

Saw this at collectors and thought I would share.

I am certain one of you deep pocketed collectors on here has $7500 in spare change for a diamondback.

I have a few Angelo Bee engraved shotguns. He is one of the best engravers alive today. I would think he would charge about $4000-4500 to do that work on a DB that one could supply to him. Since he does preparation and finishes the gun with bluing after engraving, one could start with a gun that has a lot of blue wear on it. Maybe a $700-1000 gun. However, as with all great engravers, 'some waiting is required.'

I appreciate the craftmanship that went into it but it is just not my style. I know I am probably going to be in the minority here but It does nothing for me to make me want to hit the buy button. It does look very, very nicely done.

I think the stocks detract from the overall appearance.Why put cheap stocks on a fine piece like that.JMO D*

Oddly enough, with the prices people nowadays are asking for used Pythons and Diamondbacks (.22 and .38) the $7,500 tag actually seems reasonable.

Regarding the stocks/grips, those are the kind original to the gun and seem perfect to me. Glad some aftermarket design wasn't used.

I don't like the eagle. If it didn't have that, it would be a beautiful piece, but the eagle just has no place or history to be put on there. I think the gold rampant Colt was enough, and really liked that part.

The eagle may not be a 'fit' for the DB, but it is one beautiful eagle!!

Agree. I would like it more with no eagle. Seems random.

The only thing standing between me and this beauty is $7500. (How many Glocks is that?)
I like everything about it but wouldn't complain if it had nice ivories.
