Atlas Collectible Firearms is thrilled to showcase this breathtaking example of the "snake gun" legacy, a First-Generation Colt Python manufactured in 1965. Chambered in the powerful .357 Magnum and sporting the highly desirable 4 inch ventilated rib barrel, this revolver represents the golden era of Colt's hand-fitted craftsmanship. It is a true cornerstone for any serious firearm collection.
This Python is finished in Colt's world-renowned Royal Blue, a finish so deep and lustrous it appears almost liquid. The mirror-like polish is complemented by a set of factory-original checkered walnut target grips, adorned with gold-plated Rampant Colt medallions. The action is buttery smooth with the bank-vault lockup that made the Python a legend among competitive shooters and lawmen alike.
The provenance of this revolver is exceptional, accompanied by its original wood-grain factory box with a correct serialized bottom and the yellow end label. Also included is the original factory test target dated 11-12-65 and the "Handling the Handgun" manual. The bore is absolutely perfect, and the gun shows only the lightest use with an overall rating of 98% or better. This is a stunning investment that remains in beautiful condition.
