COLLECTIBLE FIREARMS

Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present a showstopping, investment-grade piece of custom snake-gun artistry: an original 1975 Colt Python double-action revolver chambered in the formidable .357 Magnum caliber. Serial number E88085 stamped on the frame crane cut confirms manufacture in 1975, qualifying this revolver as a desirable Curio & Relic (C&R) eligible firearm. Featuring a highly sought-after 2.5-inch snubnose barrel with a ventilated top rib and full ejector shroud, this sidearm showcases full-coverage master hand engraving by renowned master engraver Jeff Flannery. While unsigned, as Flannery famously never signed his custom masterwork, this revolver is 100% authenticated as one of his signature creations, embellished in deep relief scrollwork across the frame, cylinder, and barrel shroud over a mirror-bright custom nickel finish.
Stocked in a pair of genuine Sambar stag target grips inset with silver Rampant Colt medallions, this custom snubnose Python represents an unrepeatable masterpiece of presentation. The left side of the barrel features crisp factory rollmarks reading "PYTHON .357 / .357 MAGNUM CTG.", framed by intricate engraved borders, while standard Colt address markings grace the right side. Accommodating this high-end offering is a custom deluxe wooden display case featuring a glass viewing lid and lined in rich red velvet to elegantly display the revolver.
The overall cosmetic condition of this master engraved Colt Python remains in very fine collector condition throughout, retaining a brilliant, high-luster custom nickel finish with complete coverage across all engraved surfaces. The genuine Sambar stag grips present in pristine condition, showing rich natural bark texture, warm coloration, and zero cracks or chips. Mechanically, the action functions with smooth, vault-tight Colt precision, indexing tight with crisp timing, while the 2.5-inch barrel preserves a mirror-bright, pristine bore with sharp, razor-defined rifling lines throughout.
