1981 Colt 6" Nickel Python .357 Magnum Double Action Revolver, Model I3661 & BoxOur Assessment: In 1955, the United States launched the first nuclear-powered submarine, the NATO exercise "Carte Blanche" took place in Western Europe, and Colt began shipping the finest precision combat and target revolver ever made. The Colt Python revolvers are no longer made like the originals, so the price for these fantastic weapons are just going to continue to appreciate. The revolvers by themselves are becoming harder and harder to find, making it difficult to bring oneself to actually fire a Python. It is very Rare to find a nickel python in this condition with its correct box. This would make a wonderful addition to any Colt collection!
