This was a "contract" or "hardware store" gun, made by a large manufacturer (in this case, Stevens) for a chain of stores that wanted to sell guns with their own private name; "Diamond Arms" was a name used by the Shapleigh Hardware Co. of St. Louis, Missouri, and they contracted with Stevens to make the guns sold under that name. Sorry, I don't have any info on when this gun was made.
