I am hoping there is a colt expert here that can help me. I just came in to the possesion of a colt diamond back 38 spcl ctg 2 1/2 inch barrel that has 357&
stamped in front of the 38 special ctg on the left side of the barrel.
I read and old thread about the same thing and every one says there is no such thing. Why would any one stamp 357& on the very end of the barrel infront of 38 special. I would not try to fire a 357 round out of it. I am also not sure a 357 round would fit.
Serial # D67**
any info or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
