Depends on how much value you want to lose...I say re-blue

[bruce381]

collector? how about colt doing it?

Link follow is the current condition, I would said about 60-70%.

Nothing looks worse than a re-blued Python, Colt would be your best bet.

I think it's a capital offense to put a coating on a Python.

Clean it up and enjoy shooting it.

If I was going to have it re-blued I'd send it to Colt. It might increase the value but never to the level of an original. Coating a Python might get you committed.

Wow that thing is hammered. Because it’s in such bad shape I’d do nothing but shoot the piss out of it.

I could tell by the roll mark that it is around 50 or more years old

yep^^

You got a great deal on the Python. There is no company (including Colt) that can put a real Royal Blue blueing on it so a re blue would de value the gun even more.

Last time I check colt reblue is about 300-400.
