Colt Diamondbacks were produced between 1966 & 1988. Serial numbers started with the letter D between the years 1966-1976. In 1976-1977 started with letter N .In 1978 started with letter R, so my quess is, it must have been produced sometime between 1978 & 1988.
What years did they make the 38 top break revolver? How can you know how old one is?
Anywhere between 1952 & 1953 depending on the rest of the serial numbers.In 1953 the serial numbers started with 825300.
If your revolver is an Iver Johnson Viking, it is a top break revolver. Holding the revolver in your right hand (finger OFF the trigger) use thumb and forefinger of left hand to grasp barrel latch (between back of cylinder and hammer) lift the latch, and revolver breaks open. If this does not work, take it to a gunsmith.
