    Just got my first Colt Python! *updated photo*

    and its beautiful!! the guy i bought if from said it was 95%-98%.. this gun is 100%! never been fired..1969 original box, grips, papers... the gun shop said they have never seen a python come thru this clean.. o the gun was originally DROS'd in San Jose in "69

    here she is! still not the best but under better light.. any markings are just reflections.. and the grip looks way darker.. almost dirty.. but its not

                          Congrats. That is one pristine Colt. I'm picking up mine this weekend. No box or original grips like yours and it's a 1980 not a 1969

                          But it's in excellent shape. I had to hunt down some original grips online. The grips go for a pretty penny, especially when your trying to find one from the right era in good shape. Even though it's not NIB like yours it's going to be tough bring myself to shoot it. Maybe I'll shoot this one and someday find one like yours to stare at.

                          I will post up some pictures this weekend.

                              Even the box looks like it was made yesterday. You lucked out finding that one shes a beauty hope you keep it that way.
