Is that pitting on the front of the Barrel by the 357?

no sir

Base price for a 2.5 Python in great condition is minimum $2,500. I would put it up for $2,750 firm if wanting to sell fast. 3K if you want to wait for the right buyer

From the pictures it appears to have "bright" stainless finish. However you mentioned a stainless finish which is like a brushed finish. If it did leave the factory with a stainless finish and someone shined it up, that could have diminished the value of the gun to a collector . If so one just wants a shiny 2.5 Python then the prices here are in the ballpark. If it were indeed a BSTL the value could be much higher. If you want to know how it left the Colt factory, you should request an archive letter which may prove the BSTL finish and the higher value.

I'll give you $5500 for it when you are ready to sell.

There are no such thing as scratches on a stainless gun.... Go buy some mothers mag polish and a cotton t shirt..

Good luck with that if it is a brushed stainless gun. I'm sure the bright polish spots will blend in nicely with the brushed texture.

Thanks for all the input. The gun is sold. I am glad it stayed in CA.

Shooter grade with no box or papers - I'd be shocked if you get anything close to $5,999

JMHO

If you are trying to sell it, I would put it on Gunbroker for a Penny and let the market determine what it is worth. Whatever it sells for, that's what it is worth.

I'll trade you my 4" Python for it. My gun is MUCH more desirable. I mean, it must be. They made a lot more of 'em!

He wouldn't get the CA factor though. I don't think you can SAE a 2.5in Python.

It is already on GB with a $6K starting price. The funny thing is that there are several 2.5" Pythons for sale in free states for $6K+.
