Here is his response:
The serial number is 79076, while it does not say diamond anywhere, I do not believe Meriden marked its guns with the grade name.

I am referring to the ad which was pictured in the DGJ which pictures this gun (you may have this issue, if so, it is a good article) and calls it the "diamond grade". The ad pictured is an old Meridan Firearms ad. If Meriden Firearms calls it a Diamond grade, and the gun pictured is obviously same as mine, one can safely assume mine is a Diamond grade.
