I bought a colt python that has a K prefix on the serial number. I have checked proofhouse and cant find the serial numbers for my gun. I was wondering when it was made the serial number on mine is K347**. Can somebody tell me when this gun was made, the finish on the gun looks like black chrome. Would this gun be the royal blue?? When did colt stop making the royal blue guns?? Thanks for any help..

  I'M CERTAINLY NO PYTHON EXPERT BUT THERE WERE A BUNCH OF SMITHONS MADE OVER THE YEARS (SMITH & WESSON 'K' FRAMES WITH PYTHON BARRELS). THESE WOULD HAVE A 'K' PREFIX, AND WOULD SAY 'PYTHON' ON THE BARREL.

  Colt started using the "K" prefix in Python Serial Numbers in 1980.
  
  It appears that you have a 1981 Python.
