zak_plk Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Hi guys Need bit of help. Now looking at buying a White Dimond 12g over under. I have googled this and found 2 other forums that have asked the same question "does and one know about this gun" and one version was: *This gun was made by Dr Franco Beretta (same family as the Beretta gun co but now nothing to do with them) and he/his company only made one gun. They normally make barrels and trigger mechs. The gun is around 20 years old. Worth around £600 *This gun was made by Dimond Gun Co in East Sussex and agin around 20 years old. I have spoken to Churchills of Dereham and my mate in there said it's just a *** that is not worth much. Any one here got any ideas??? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foggy11 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 I probably , personally quality controlled this gun for Diamond guns, back in the 80s. Good solid workhorse. Made by The Silma factory in the same town as Beretta and all the others. 600 is probably a fair price for a really good one. If I remember right that were £350 new, back then. Parts are still available from Diamond shooting services in Sussex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foggy11 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 If you tell me the serial No , i could probably find out which shop etc, it went to first and which batch it came from. There are still some selective trigger kits in the shop i think. If it hasnt got one already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clearpigeon Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) They were only £300-£400 New (and they are nearly 30 years old now!) Second Hand value now Would be £250 - £300 From a trader with some form of limited warranty Private purchase pay no more than about £150 if its clean, if it's scruffy don'nt bother there are plenty of cheap guns out there but you have to hunt around to find decent ones. http://www.gunstar.co.uk/Shotgun/Italian-Made-white-diamond-gun-for-sale-gs21050.aspx This link shows a trader selling one for £249 For around £600 you can get a new Franchi Harrier with 5 Year Warranty!
