I sold two in 95%+ condition this year for $1500 apiece. I could have gotten more. They are scarce as hell, in 98%+ condition at least, which is not the actual condition you see advertised here.

In 1982, my brother was closing down his coin/gun shop in Redding and he sold me a new nickel plated 4" barrel Python for $300. It's fired exactly 28 rounds. I guess it would qualify as a 98%+ gun.Those that call the US Constitution a living, breathing document only want to asphyxiate liberty.

No, it was located at a small strip mall on Bechelli Lane. I've still got the two original boxes of ammo I purchased for it, only 28 missing. I can't explain why it wasn't 24 or 30.Those that call the US Constitution a living, breathing document only want to asphyxiate liberty.

Someone just sold a 1965 6inch blue for around $1300 it was in perfect condition no cylinder turn ring, grips were flawless. Thats a steal.
Common misconception is these late model Python elites selling beyond $2000. They are not the best made pythons but more of a late marketing scheme by colt. You want to stick to models from the 60's through to the early 80's. Do your history on colt and colt pythons to get an idea of what is best.
Look out for pre colt strike models when the real masters at colt built them.
If your only going to have one Python then i would go with a six, 3 ribs along the barrel is pure perfection in design. Having the box and paper work raises the stakes on price by many $$$
But dont pass up a mint 2.5 they seem more difficult to find in mint condition.Comment

Oh, almost forgot about this ''one that got away''. The guy behind me was a cop, before he was murdered. I nearly had all the paperwork done to get it home, when command changed policy on firearm trophies. ALL the markings are in Arabic.
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself...A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."......CiceroComment

The Colt Python is probably the most beautiful revolver I've seen especially in Royal Blue, but also in nickel or stainless.Always remember to pillage before you burn.Comment
