Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present a super rare, investment-grade masterpiece of classic snake-gun history: an original 1st Generation 1967 Colt Python double-action revolver chambered in the powerful .357 Magnum cartridge. Featuring the highly sought-after 2.5-inch snubnose ventilated-rib barrel with a full-length ejector shroud, a brilliant nickel finish, and carrying serial number 72032 sharply rollmarked on the frame crane cut, this 1967-built Python represents one of the most desirable snubnose configurations Colt ever produced. Early 1st Generation 2.5-inch Pythons are among the rarest production variants in existence, making this handgun a crown-jewel piece for the discerning firearms investor.
This exceptional collector revolver comes outfitted with its original factory checkered walnut target grips accented with gold Colt medallions and featuring the classic service-style profile. The revolver is accompanied by a matching reproduction Colt wood-grain two-piece box with a factory-style end label correctly reflecting Model Python, serial number 72032, 2.5-inch barrel length, Nickel finish, and .357 MAG caliber designation. Included alongside the display box are reproduction period-correct paperwork inserts, including the Python instruction manual and shooting suggestions pamphlet.
The cosmetic condition of this rare 1st Generation Colt Python remains in exceptional, high-grade collector condition throughout, exhibiting a mirror-like nickel finish with only minimal signs of careful handling and virtually no operational use. The factory checkered walnut grips present in pristine condition with sharp checkering lines and vibrant wood tone. Mechanically, the action operates with legendary hand-fitted, vault-tight precision, indexing smoothly with flawless double and single-action trigger engagement, while the 2.5-inch barrel preserves a mirror-bright, pristine bore with razor-sharp rifling lines.
