Description

This early production Colt Python, manufactured in 1957, features the rare and highly sought-after 2.5" barrel configuration—making it a top-tier collectible for Python enthusiasts and Colt revolver collectors. Finished in original Colt royal blue, this revolver combines compact form with premium craftsmanship and target-grade performance.

It features a vent-rib barrel, full lug, factory walnut grips with sharp checkering, and an added trigger shoe for improved control. The revolver retains 95%+ of its original finish, with typical high edge wear and handling marks, along with a visible cylinder drag line. Mechanically, it remains excellent. Included with the revolver is an H.H. Heiser leather holster, a high-quality period-correct carry piece known for its craftsmanship and collectibility.
