I used to have a snubby Python with the compact, factory checkered wood grips, which I think had a 2.5" barrel. Sorry I sold it, but couldn't resist getting $1,800.00 for a gun I paid about $500.00 for. Looked like this:

A guy at a gun show was selling 3 Diamondbacks and two had silver medallions and one had gold. When I asked, a friend of mine blurted out that answer. Now he's a man who eats, sleeps, and breathes everything Colt; so I'm only assuming its either right or pretty close.

That's pretty obscure knowledge to have off the top of one's head short of being a real Colt aficionado.
