Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present a highly desirable, investment-grade double-action revolver: an original 1981-manufactured Colt Python chambered in .357 Magnum. Built on Colt's legendary I-frame, this flagship wheelgun features a 4-inch ventilated-rib barrel with a full-length ejector shroud, an adjustable target rear sight, and a dazzling factory bright nickel finish. Carrying serial number K62548 stamped cleanly into the frame crane cut, factory records confirm its production date in 1981, representing the golden era of hand-fitted Hartford craftsmanship.
Fitted with a pair of original factory checkered walnut target stocks inset with gold Colt Rampant Horse medallions, this Python offers exceptional balance and timeless visual appeal. Included with the revolver is the Colt woodgrain box with the internal Styrofoam insert. The end label correctly identifies Model I3641, .357 MAG caliber, 4 INCH barrel, NICKEL finish, and matching serial number K62548. Accompanying the revolver is the full literature set, including the Python instruction manual, Colt Companion booklet, authorized service station leaflet, welcome letter signed by Colt President C.E. Warner, and red warning hangtag.
The cosmetic presentation of this Python remains in exceptional, high-grade collector condition throughout, retaining nearly all of its factory bright nickel luster with only minimal signs of handling or use. Under close inspection, a few very tiny pin-prick specks of light freckling are noted on the right side of the barrel rib. The factory walnut target grips are exceptionally preserved with crisp checkering points free of major chips or cracks. Mechanically, the hand-fitted action operates with vault-tight lockup, smooth double-action cycling, and crisp single-action trigger engagement, while the 4-inch barrel preserves a mirror-bright, pristine bore with razor-sharp rifling lines.
