Item Relisted! FS 1981 Colt Python - Unfired - Mint

[ColtAR15]

Have always loved the Python. I bought my first one while stationed in Germany. Got it at the Rod and Gun Club in Stuttgart new in box 4 In Nickel, $200 in the early 70s. You know even the S&W 66 was harder to get at the time. And if I am not wrong they wanted more for the 66 at the time. I have two Pythons left. I remember selling a used 4 inch in the 90s for maybe a couple hundred dollars or less. Time makes a big change.

Did you buy this one new?

Did you buy this one new?

My father did, and passed it on to me.

My father did, and passed it on to me.

Wow. So awesome. Keep that thing and give it to your grandkids! Imagine its value in 50 years with a line to confirm its unfired!

Wow, wish I had bought a few back then at that price. There are several things I wish I had hung on to over the years that are worth a great deal now. Germany is awesome, been there a few times.

I have another one that I shoot. I'll pass that one on. This one should be enjoyed by someone who has yet to experience the way it was ...

A Python seems like a good thing to put stimulus dollars towards!

Heck they could give us 10 stimulus and I couldn’t afford it lol. That’s a beautiful peace.

Found a Kimber Micro 9 RBI, so that's off the table as a partial trade.

I way be willing to trade partially for a kick ass mechanic that really knows VW Karmann Ghias / VW air cooled engines / dual carbs.

Come on Mega Millions.

I have been asked if the price is negotiable. It is, though I'm not giving it away.... I will consider reasonable offers, though please, no low-balling.

Maybe cash and a NIB 70"-75" top tier TV, or MacBook Pro/MacBook Air....
