Atlas Collectible Firearms is immensely thrilled to present this phenomenal, investment-grade 1966 Colt Python double action revolver. Chambered in the powerful .357 Magnum cartridge, this pristine early-production wheelgun features the highly collectible, ultra-desirable 2.5-inch snubnose barrel configuration with a full vent rib and solid lug. This short-barrel variant stands as one of the absolute holy grails for premium snake gun purists and serious firearms historians alike.
This magnificent revolver boasts a breathtaking, mirror-like nickel finish that shows incredibly bright surfaces throughout. The dazzling presentation is beautifully paired with classic checkered walnut service grips adorned with gold Colt medallions, an adjustable rear target sight, a pinned front ramp sight, and a wide spur hammer. Every angle displays the legendary hand-fitted precision that made the mid-century snake guns world-famous.
This spectacular snubnose arrives complete with a high-quality reproduction woodgrain factory box featuring a matching-number handwritten bottom, a vintage orange instruction manual, a product brochure, and associated paperwork. The python remains in very fine collector condition showing very limited signs of handling or use and it exhibits an immaculate bore and flawlessly preserved mechanics. This stunning centerpiece offers incredible cosmetic eye appeal and maximum long-term investment appreciation potential.
