I ran across this recently. This is a fair price for a NIB unfired 70's era Python. You don't see these too often.

Good deal on a collector's python

I would buy this if I wasn't budgeting for another big purchase at the moment. The pictures have pretty heavy aliasing, but it looks to me like a knurled cylinder release, which means it must be late 70's. I would recommend whoever buys it to run a colt serial check first just to be sure. However, on this year python, the box should have a handwritten label with the serial#."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Originally posted by CJ View PostThere's unfired and low fired. The difference in price is about $1k. That's a pricey choice. Most pythons are low round count, those are easy to find. That mentality you're suggesting though is what drives unfired guns prices so high. Nothing wrong with that, I have a couple shooters, but its always nice to have a collector gun. 3k is the average price for a low round early python, so this being unfired is quite a deal.ZOMBIE REAGAN FOR PRESIDENT 2016!!! heh

I just couldn't buy something and not shoot, I do see it from a collector standpoint. Its kind of like buying a running car and not driving it. I know people do that, but shit, If I am investing into something I want to fucking use it. I don't buy stocks because I can't do shit but by and sell them, or even really see it. At least with a gun you see, so I do see the point.
