Not sure about the finish, but I believe my dad has a Colt Python in his collection.  He had it as his bed side gun for many years.

My uncle owned one that was stolen back in the 80s. He lent it to a friend and the friend's house got burglarized. Miraculously, it was used in connection with a crime and was recovered by HPD. My uncle was informed by an HPD Detective that it was being held for evidence. My uncle forgot about the pistol and then later passed away.  My uncle's son (i.e., my cousin) told me I could have it if I could recover it from HPD. He said it was in "rough shape" from what he remembers. I have no idea whether something confiscated nearly 30 years ago by HPD would still be in HPD's possession and how to go about getting it.  I went as far as ascertaining the name of the detective who was in charge of the investigation and have determined that he has since then retired.

I'm living your fantasy.  Mine is to have another so I can actually take one to the range to enjoy!   :thumbsup:

I bought it from a guy locally.  1978 model.  Story he told was his uncle bought it new.  He ran half a box of ammo through it, and kept it put up ever since.  The uncle sold it to him (must have been a very cheap price), and I made an offer as soon as we met. 

There's no turn line -- or it's so faint I can't see it.  The gun is almost perfect.  One tiny surface scratch behind the cylinder release latch, near the Colt logo.

I figured I'd never have another chance to see one in person before buying, and certainly not one this nice.  No box, papers or manuals, but I can live with that.

I figure this will be the last revolver I sell if I ever start liquidating.  I understand this is the revolver to own for the Zombie Apocalypse!   :geekdanc:

Since we're on revolvers, I would love to own one of these one day.  Preferably an older, but still good condition model.
