Colt Diamondback Double Action Revolver with Certificate of Authenticity from the Charles "Skeeter" Skelton Collection

The included certificate identifies the revolver by serial number as being "An integral part of Skeeter Skelton's gun collection" and is signed by Sally Skelton. Charles Alan "Skeeter" Skelton (1928-1988) was an American law enforcement officer, and noted firearms writer. Skelton served in the United States Marine Corps, with the U.S. Border Patrol, Sheriff of Deaf Smith County, Texas, DEA, and the U.S. Customs Service, before dedicating his full time as handgun editor for the firearms periodical "Shooting Times". Manufactured in 1976 with fixed blade front and adjustable notch rear sights, standard markings, (highlighted in white) smooth trigger, and serrated hammer. With hardwood and glass display case.

ConditionExcellent. 95% plus original blue finish remains with some traces of edge wear, and light cylinder drag line. Grips are also excellent with sharp checkering, and some small dings. Mechanically excellent. Case is very good with some dings and scuffs on the exterior.
