Colt Collectors??

I have a close friend that is attempting to auction his pistol on GunBroker,, it's his 1st gun sale.

He received a Colt Diamondback 38, blued, 4 inch via a family hand-me-down about 15 yrs ago. Not being a collector, he has used it as his truck gun.

I didn't discover what he carried until this last spring and quickly told him to put the Colt away and get something else to throw under the seat.

It's now on gunbroker and he is getting questions about the grips. They look like stock period correct grips,, but there is no Colt emblem. By my recon it probably was built in 1976, at the end of production. Serial D83299.

Are there any Colt collectors around??

Did Colt issue the Diamondback grips without the emblems??

I am a S&W type so other than looking at my Blue Book???

Thanks
