This got me to thinking.....Was there any real "reason" that the "diamond" grips were discontinued in 1968?? Or just changing styles? Just curious, Thanks,Bill

The 1968 Gun Control Act-there was a special provision regarding deletion of non purpose driven ornamentals on guns and the ATF ruled that the diamond on the grips fit the definition and they had to go. Silly-you betcha but try teiling that to the government.
