    SFbay: *SOLD*: excellent condition E series python 6"

    Don't really want to sell this, but houses are expensive.

    *SOLD*: $1400: Excellent condition very desirable pre-strike, E-series python. These (and the no-letter prefix serial numbers) are viewed as the best of the pythons.

    Strongly prefer PPT at jackson arms.

    I took it to the range once. The guy I bought it from inherited it from his father and asserted it just stayed in the safe. From the shellplate it doens't look like much went down the barrel. Very very faint turnline (limited to the cylinder notches) and a easily missed 1/8th slight blue wear at the end of the muzzle that I believe is from cleaning since the gun was obviously never holstered (tried to take a photo but it just looks shiny). Smudge marks are from my fingers. The finish is immaculate & from when they still did things right. Pristine grips.

    If you want a collector python in CA this is a good one.

                      I will throw my 2 cents in here. I had the pleasure of purchasing a couple of guns from Dawson. They were better in person. I took a chance and took a "little drive". I am located in LA. I would not hesitate to do it again.

                        I'll speak up for Zirconjohn. He is a great guy to deal with and he won't do you wrong. If he tells you he will do something then that's that! Great guy.

                              Thanks for the support! No need to be so modest about your trek --- two roundtrips from LA is pretty hardcore, even if it was for two pistols I'm glad I don't have your fortitude or I'd be living in a cardboard box next to a gi-normous gunsafe...
