Per proofhouse.com R13901 started in 1978 and per http://www.coltforum.com/forums/colt-revolvers/12138-da-dates-manufacture-thru-1985-a.html S01001 started in 1979. I would say 1978 in answer to your question.

I agree with "elliotf".. In 1978, the Diamondback numbers were from R13901 / NA. The Diamondback,Cobra,Agent and Detective Special all shared the same serial numbering system and in 1979, they started a new number series. Starting in 1979, all four models started with serial # S01001 thru # S27028...............I hope I explained this right...........

Thanks, but as many other colt firearms, the serial# does not show on their site.

I suggest that all colt fanatics (which is all of us on this site) should purchase the "Blue Book Pocket Guide For Colt Dates Of Manufacture" by R.L. Wilson....This book fits in your back pocket and covers colts D.O.M. THRU THE 90'S. It is great at Gun Shows and your LGS. This book sells for under $20 and is well worth having. JMHO Here is one place to get one... Google the book & you may find it cheaper..
