COLLECTIBLE FIREARMS

Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present a holy grail, museum-tier crown jewel of American wheelgun history: an original 1st Generation 1964-manufactured Colt Python double-action revolver chambered in .357 Magnum. Representing an exceedingly rare second-year production example for the iconic 2.5-inch snub-nose barrel length, this early Python features Colt's legendary hand-polished Royal Blue finish, a ventilated barrel rib, and a full-length ejector rod shroud. Carrying serial number 34729 sharply stamped into the crane and crane cut, this ultra-desirable I-frame snake gun stands as an absolute cornerstone investment piece for the most advanced firearms collectors worldwide.
Outfitted with its factory-original checkered walnut service stocks inset with correct gold Colt Rampant Horse medallions, this incredible package arrives complete with its ultra-rare original Colt wood-grain cardboard box. The bottom of the box retains a faintly visible handwritten serial number matching 34729, paired with the end label explicitly designated for "PYTHON REVOLVER 2 1/2 INCH BBL. COLT BLUE". The exhaustive factory accessory suite includes the original warranty card, instruction manual, handling brochure, original yellow wax liner paper, original nylon bore brush, and the rare Colt screwdriver key fob.
Preserved in immaculate, high-grade collector condition, this 1964 Python rates at an honest 95% to 97% overall, retaining rich, vibrant factory Royal Blue luster across its steel surfaces. The most notable areas of light finish wear are isolated to the top rear of the backstrap and a few faint spots along the front grip strap from historical handling and careful use. Mechanically, the hand-fitted action functions with glass-smooth, vault-tight precision, locking up like a bank vault with perfect timing and a featherlight trigger pull, while the 2.5-inch barrel preserves a 100% mirror-bright, pristine bore with razor-sharp rifling lines throughout.
