I once had aspirations of starting a Colt collection for my son. Then I realized how much it would cost, so he's on his own.

You picked her up?

My 'problem' with 'never fired' is if'n it were mine it would not (could not) stay that way and that would lessen the value.

She is a beauty!

Agree 100 percent. I can't own a fine firearm and not shoot it.

Thanks, but don't get too impressed fellas. My Brother-in-Law and I are both gun guys and we will be opening a gun and knife storefront and internet business in the fall of '09. We both already have quite a few guns and have been buying and collecting for a while (Yeah we are both old). Starting a gun business seems like a natural direction for two old retired gun nuts.

Being retired means you don't have to let the cool stuff go

Ya know Kid, seeing as your two years younger than me, I'm getting a little tired of people calling them selves OLD!  I'm still about 16 in my head so CUT IT OUT!!!!!  I know, the hot sun in the south ages ya quicker but seriously......enough!

I hear ya. I'm still trying to figure what I'll be when I grow up. I still feel like a "Kid" at heart and I hope that I always will.

Best gun deal I ever made was trading an in the box Ruger bearcat to a serious Ruger collector for a 4" barrel used state troopers .357 python (lots of holster wear, but eotherwise cherry). Worst deal was when I panicked at the Clinton gun ban which was intially going to incluse semi-auto handguns, and traded it for a new Glock (in my slender defense Colt was still making them). I love the Glock, but in retrospect, not that much. I love Pythons. Smooth as glass, solid in the hand, I still kick myself over that. The dumbest thing I ever did that didn't involve a girl.

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.
