Colt Python
How can you tell a nickle finish from an ultimate stainless finish? The bluebook lists both and I don't know which one I have. Also how can you tell the year it was made by the serial no.? Does the serial no. give any other info about the gun?

Barrel length, type and condition of grips, finish, serial number, original box and papers, actual condition of weapon and related items, lots of good, clear, closeup photos, Colt letter?, etc... All of these will be necessary to give a value to this revolver.
Its like saying " I got a 68 Corvette, real clean, owned by a car guy, whats it worth.0 -

Ginny,
We really are trying to help you. There is a sticky at the top about posting photos. If you have the other information you can post it here like this.
Colt Python
MFG 1976
Serial #: XXXXXXXX
Original box and paperwork
4" barrel
Blued Finish
Colt Wood Grips
Has cylinder turn line but no other noticeable wear
Grips have no scratches or nicks
Does not have a Colt letter
Without clear, closeup pictures, you are probably not going to get much of an answer about value. You might try to search the completed auctions and see what similar Pythons have gone for.0 -
