serial #60433E, 357 Mag., 6" barrel with a bright excellent bore. This revolver features Colt's highest level of engraving which features scroll on all exposed surfaces of metal other than the sides of the barrel rib. In addition to the wonderful engraving the revolver wears a pair of custom relief carved ivory grips depicting a nude woman within relief scroll and with an interrupted geometric border. The work is well-done and leaves little to the imagination. The revolver is virtually as-new retaining 99% of its bright original nickel plated finish overall. The grips are in equally fine condition with no chips or damage of any kind. The revolver comes with a factory letter confirming the configuration (grips are not listed but these are high end custom) and showing it as a single gun shipment to Mr. William Winkelman in Merrill, Wisconsin on March 10, 1978. This revolver is also featured in Gurney Brown's Python book on pages 178 and 179 where it and its factory letter are fully illustrated. A top quality, highly embellished Colt Python for the advanced Snake Gun collector. (1D11759-31) {MODERN} (15,000/25,000)
