Quoted:
Any info on that logo at the bottom? It was used starting in 1964 after a corporate reorganization. Not sure how late it was in use, but it could have been until the Firearms Division was purchased by CF Holding Corporation in 1989. ETA: The ad isn't dated, but if it was 1964, that price is equivalent to $1337.52 in 2010 dollars. The improved 3-prong would be consistent with it being 1964-67. The 1967 equivalent price would be $1241.41. |

The Colt Industries logo is supposedly inspired by a machine tool or gear (see here, 1964). I don't know much about Diemaco's corporate history but if they came into being specifically to make the C7 then it's possible the likeness could be intentional. |
