Chilinstructor: I was chasin guns in Butte, Montana today when I came across a 6" Colt Python in MINT condition!
It was in (of all places!) a pawn shop!
The price tag read $3,500.00!
It was a blued pistol and again it was minty with no trace even of a cylinder turn line.
I got serious with the shop owner and he relayed he had been offered $2,900.00 for it - and my pittance of an offer was rejected.
I distinctly remember these pistols being offered at retail/new for under $300.00 way back when - again if I could only see into the future.
I wonder what firearms today will be worth ten plus times their retail price in 40 years or so?
Viking: Thank YOU very much for that bit of very interesting/pertinent information on the production numbers.
Hold into the wind
