COLLECTIBLE FIREARMS

Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present a museum-tier, holy grail piece of custom-embellished snake-gun craftsmanship: an original, factory Class "C" engraved 1977 Colt Python double-action revolver chambered in the classic .357 Magnum cartridge. Manufactured in 1977 as confirmed by serial number 60090E rollmarked on the frame crane cut, this masterwork features a 6-inch ventilated-rib barrel with a full-length ejector shroud, a 6-shot cylinder, and Colt's signature high-polish Royal Blue finish. The accompanying official Colt Historian Archive Letter authenticates that this revolver was shipped on October 7, 1977, to Gopher Shooter's Supply Inc. in Faribault, Minnesota, confirming factory-original Class "C" standard level scroll engraving providing 50% coverage across the frame, barrel, and cylinder. Furthermore, the left side of the grip frame under the stocks is explicitly stamped "COLT ENG", solidifying its authentic Colt Custom Shop provenance.
Outfitted with presentation-grade appointments, this double-action revolver features smooth factory zebra wood stocks set with gold Colt Custom Shop medallions, creating a striking contrast against the dark Royal Blue engraved metalwork. The slide features a serrated ramp front sight blade paired with a U-notch fully adjustable target rear sight, a checkered hammer spur, and a grooved target trigger. Arriving 100% New Old Stock (NOS) and unfired, this elite offering comes housed in its original hinged leatherette shadowline Colt presentation case featuring a plush orange interior lining and a gold "FROM THE COLT CUSTOM GUN SHOP" interior plaque, accompanied by the official Colt factory archive letter.
The overall cosmetic condition of this factory Class "C" engraved Colt Python remains in 100% New Old Stock (NOS) unfired condition throughout, exhibiting its deep Royal Blue finish and crisp scrollwork with zero operational wear, handling marks, or cylinder drag lines. The smooth custom shop zebra wood grip panels present in mint, pristine condition with rich grain definition. Mechanically, the hand-fitted action operates with vault-tight, glass-smooth precision, locking up with dead-center timing and a light single-action release, while the 6-inch barrel preserves a mirror-bright, pristine bore with razor-sharp, defined rifling lines throughout.
