Atlas Collectible Firearms is immensely privileged to present this breathtaking 1982 production Colt Python double-action revolver chambered in the powerful .357 Magnum cartridge. Serialized K65095, this scarce sidearm features a desirable 2.5-inch snubnose ventilated-rib barrel with a full-length ejector rod shroud, making it one of the most sought-after snubnose configurations produced in Hartford. Shipped directly to Clearfield Hardware Company in January 1982, this short-barrel double-action revolver represents an extraordinary piece of early 1980s Colt manufacturing history.
The firearm showcases Colt's rare factory Coltguard finish, an electroless nickel plating that delivers superior corrosion resistance along with a satin matte aesthetic. It comes fitted with factory black rubber finger-groove grips with embedded gold rampant colt medallions that create a bold visual contrast. Every line across the frame and barrel remain exceptionally crisp, accented by a red-ramp insert front sight and a fully adjustable rear target sight.
This complete package includes its original factory box with matching handwritten end label, instruction manual, companion booklet, authorized service stations guide, hang tag, and a formal Colt Archive Letter authenticating its factory specifications. Displaying high condition with only minor use and limited signs of handling, this complete cased setup represents a phenomenal investment-grade snake gun for any premier firearms collection.
