Hi Folks and welcome to what is left of the gun/sword list #26 from Tom Nardi. I am posting it on my website to see if there is response so I can decide if this is the way to go or start working on list #27. It seems about 50% of you did not get the original list #26 by email due to spam filters. I had tons of emails bounce back as ”not delivered” for a variety of reasons. Out of about 75 items only about 55 sold. Those of you who know “the list” know that they usualklly sell quickly. Yahoo, SBC and ATT addresses seemed to be the chief troublemakers. If you do not want to be on this list PLEASE let me know and I will promptly delete you. If you want to be included on the next one please send me an email. If this website listing works out then there may be no more private lists. I will let everyone know which way I am going to go aafter this is running a month or so. please do not use my cds1 email anymore. The new emails are possted below at the end of the list. Please follow instructions also at the bottom.

7) Colt Diamondback 38 EX

This one is 99.9% nickel. Don’t mind the pictures. The sun makes it look like a blue gun but it is 99.9% original nickel. Believe it of not I cant sell it here in the rogue state of California. I live here but I am not all that proud I do. IT does not meet the California drop test rule which means colt did not pay to have it tested, and why would they when they don’t make it anymore. It Ca attempt to get our guns awayReduced. $765 http://www.cds1.net/~nardi/dia3.JPG http://www.cds1.net/~nardi/dia2.JPG
