The New Colt Python- $18K,,,
It's engraved.
It is nicely done, but not my taste. Give me the original 'Royal Blue' finish.

If I was a high end collector and it was factory engraved instead of aftermarket then maybe. I'm not and it isn't but at least it is a charity auction. Bob 0 -

But I would also guess for that much coin it never will. Bob0 -
I don't care for the plywood grips , an engraved gun going for big bucks it should at least have some custom handmade grips. 0 -

Joe,I agree and disagree with your assessment of the Python.On the + side the engraving is tastefully done. The artist obviously spent time studying the immortal Rudolph Kornbrath !
It's a Python and has my favorite 6 inch barrel length.The Colt Royal Blue is my preferred finish ! Nothing compares to that hot charcoal finish. See my post Turnbulll 1911 for an excellent example. > Absolutely stunning work ! > An aside note, some Pythons shoot better better then others.I had a [the one that got away] Dan Wesson 6" Mod. 15-2 .357 that would chew up Pythons all day long with factory Rem. 158 grain soft points. Damn I miss that revolver > the most accurate handgun I ever owned. Those 6 rounds I would trust my life on and never feel under gunned !

Would I turn down that gun? Oh heck no,but not my first choice. I am glad it did bring a nice amount for charity. 0
