he had not. So I thought he must have saw something obvious like wrong grips or who knows. He was a very intimidating guy... Tonya didn't even act noticeably angry when he started trying to open the cylinder despite the tie wrap---and he knew the gun was sold too. Anyway, I'm glad I didn't go out there to talk to him first.Did he hear the 1957 comment? Maybe he was going to tell you it was a later gun.
Another possibility is that he wanted to scare you off of the gun so he could buy it himself. I've seen this happen at shows were a guy says he knows of a better condition gun, just like you're looking at, at a cheaper price "over there" pointing 6 rows over. Then while you are on a wild goose chase, he buys the very gun you were looking at. This didn't happen to me, as I'm too savvy, but it happened to a not so savvy friend of mine.he had not.

amazing. you are exactly correct sir . Brian called and came back with 1957. He didn't give them the prefix. I said I know the box is not 1957. I didnt think the gun was either. I say.. ah... I say ah... I say.. ya got to give Colt the whole serial number .. ya got to keep your eye on the box son.. eye.. box. (my best FogHorn LegHorn )Here's what the dealer did...he said "I have a Python with S/N 4251" (omitting the AL Prefix) and Colt said "That's a 1957" and they concluded the phone call. Now then S/N AL4251 makes it a 1980. The stocks are "Gen III" due to the straight transition from smooth to checkered wood. Gen II would have the smiley transition. I'm not a box/label guy so can't help you there. Price? I'm not as up to date on that anymore so no help there. That's all Folks (in my Porky Pig imitation voice).
Yeah, I will wonder for days what Mr. Soprano (I jest of course) had to tell me so badly. I looked at him across the room as he stood at the doorway.. looked at Tonya.. back at him.. back at Tonya. then I looked down at my checkbook and as I wrote said to her.." I know Harry has always looked out for me. " She said, you can go out there if you want to.Yeah I have to agree once you said you were buying the gun, he should have backed off. I would have went outside with him, I am curious that way. Nice Python you purchased I have wanted a nickel Python since Jeff(Mtn spur) showed me the one he bought. Never cared for nickel guns before, but Jeff's Python bit me all the way from Texas. Peace.

I thought quickly , I'm gonna gamble here but demonstrating trust in them by not going out first is going to be my smartest move. I've bought many guns from there, and I want to buy many more !
