Fabulous And Scarce Colt Python Double Action Revolver With Original Box serial #68156E, 357 Magnum, 2 1/2” full lug ventilated rib heavy barrel with a bright excellent bore. This beautiful scarce short barreled Python has seen no use since it left Hartford in 1977 and remains as new in-the-box. The metal surfaces retain about 99% plus original Colt Royal blue finish. The serrated service trigger and target hammer spur retain full blue finish while the sides of the hammer remain bright. This gun is equipped with checkered factory walnut type III target grips featuring gold Rampant Colt medallions and remain in superb condition. This gun features a serrated ramp front sight, Colt Accro adjustable rear sight, and appears to function mechanically. This beautiful gun includes its original woodgrain box with Styrofoam insert that is correctly end labeled and numbered to the gun and a manual. The box rates about good showing moderate edge wear, one dust flap is missing, all the flaps show cellophane repairs on the interior, and the box shows slight crushing although the Styrofoam insert does not. A highly desirable treasure for the advanced collector.
