ad closed 1965 Colt .357 Python, 6" barrel, blue steel - SOLD

[Hickory_Windage]

 

I have a 1965 Colt .357 python revolver with the 6" barrel in blue steel for sale.  To my knowledge, this gun has never been fired.  The only obvious alterations from original is where my grandad stamped his name on the butt of the grips which are aftermarket smooth grips.  Since the same year make and model of this pistol is selling on gunbroker.com for around $3,500, I'm asking $2,750.

I'm in Chattanooga, TN.

 Safety Reminder for Buyers and Sellers 

This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO.

• Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with.   Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete.  Your experience will help others.
   
• Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!  None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.  They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.  DON'T DO IT.
   
• Be very wary of anyone who insists on brokering a deal in private or outside of TGO.  Scammers almost always prefer to operate out of the public eye.

I'm not a buyer but does this have box and paperwork?

[Hickory_Windage]

No.  It's just the pistol.

Smooth grips?

[Hickory_Windage]

Yes. The grips are smooth possibly aftermarket with the gold colt medallions.  Inside the grips is stamped with a "P".  I can confirm that those grips have been on that pistol since at least 1988.  I believe they are walnut.

I do not have the original grips.  The gun is 58 years old and I've only had it for a few weeks.
