Python Porn

OK, I'll play.

Here's my 1969 4" Python, virtually unfired.  I don't think more than 5 rounds were fired through the gun from what I was told and the fact that it is pristine, including the recoil shield and cylinder face.  It belonged to a New York State Supreme Court Justice who sold off his collection after he turned 80. Needless to say I jumped on it as soon as I saw it was available.  Came with both sets of stocks and original Colt box and papers. 

The stocks you see in this photo are brand new old stock from the mid 70's, but I decided to put the original 1969 stocks back on this beauty as the semi circle cutout around the colt logo was missing on the later stocks.  It just looked wrong whenever I looked at this Python, so she's now back to her original state.  My one and only safe queen.  I just like to take her out every once in awhile and give her a nice coating of Renaissance Wax.

Very, very nice. She looks perfect. I'll bet the 4" is even more valuable. I've seen very few and never one in that kind of excellent condition. Congratulations.

Its your gun and your choice what to do with it. But unless you bought it as an investment, why not shoot it? I mean hell, your python that you own, and mine that I wish I owned, are equally useful to us right now. It might as well be a picture from a gun mag you have hanging on your wall if you don't take it out and enjoy it. They weren't made to be looked at, but to be shot. Thats  just my opinion but it just seems that life is too short to own cars you won't drive, wine you won't drink or guns you won't shoot.

Only if you plan on selling it. In which case resist temptation. Otherwise I still maintain that its like having a Shelby Cobra and not driving it for fear of an accident. To each their own.

It looks pretty much identical to my Colt Boa which has never been fired except for the test rounds at the factory. My brother's both have the 6 inch Boas and we've all got consecutive numbers. My dad's Python is in about the same condition as your gun. I've got a relatively pristine Anaconda as well. I came pretty close to getting my first wife's dad to give me his Diamondback.

Where do you find a Shelby Cobra NIB?  They have been driven, so drive them a, but keep them nice.  You don't find many 40 year old virgins and sometimes it's nice to keep them that way.

The virgins might disagree.

Try Match box, no joke, on several of their designs they had assistance from the same guys who actually designed the real cars, they were the most accurate reproductions in their scale which is why adults collect them. Some of the older MatckBox cars, if still in the original package, will bring a nice down payment on a real car.
