Well, here are a few pics of my new acquisition. I really like it, its nearly flawless as far as I can see. No Box or paperwork. I never had a Nickel plated gun, kind of worries me especially taking it to the range. I really want a STS Python. So I may sell it or trade up with some cash to end up with a stainless Python. I'm even scared to put it into a holster for Gods sake. Thats no way to live:bang_wall: For now I can't stop looking and fondling it.

I thank you! My fear I think comes from seeing so many in poor condition that it gave me the impression the finish wasn't durable. I have some Ren wax on the way, Micro fiber cloths and 2 fore fingers for finish care. As I understand it, break free is ok, no ammonium. This forum saved me from purchasing a python that was made prior to the introduction of the Electroless nickel finish, that had a touted E-Nickel finish, and paid less for this one so I owe this forum for that near blunder. Lots of great information!!

The under lugis solid where the ejector rod terminates in the closed position, I suspect the is a rare option? I think I am going to hold on to it, It really looks brand new to me so 45 years ago it must have been spectacular. When pythons were new was the crane tight when closing the cylinder? there isn't a noise to here with a full cylinder closed and you rattle it, in a safe direction of course, seems very strange not to even hear the ammo making noise.

Thanks for the tip, I'll be puttin it to use, Turn rings bother me like cracks in the sidewalk bother others, OCD I think

yes you do! Hey heres a question, when I hold it next to my polished anaconda the nickel has a "yellowish or golden" hue, I think, I'm color blind. Is that just the way nickel looks? I never had a STS gun too compare it with until now.

You have a gem of a Python....Don't even think of selling it because you will never be able to replace it. Enjoy

So what would you say a good price for it would be, I think I did alright, curious what someone knowledgeable would think a good price was
