This Python listing on GB makes me hurt all over.I like my eggs over done but not my Pythons.D*

Colt Python 4" .357mag engraved One Of A Kind Rare : Revolvers at GunBroker.com

 

[IowaMustang]

I'm willing to bet they are disappointed with their final price.

 

[iwanna]

It looks kind of pimply. I do like the snake on the barrel. That seller does get some nice stuff. I bought an Anshutz from him.

 

[Blademan]

I would be willing to bet that the engraver dropped acid before he went to work on this Python!

 

[ohiobuckeye]

Wow!...was that a poppy field???...

Mom used to say, "If you can't say something nice about something, don't say anything at all." All I have to say is.............................................

IncredibleThis goes in the 'Now I've seen everything file'Ugly doesn't do it justice

 

[foxtail]

It took a lot of work to make that gun that ugly. I do like the grips.

 

[gruesome]

it would not be so bad if not for the little wads of grapes or tumors or whatever those little yellows things are

 

[d.a.r.y.l]

Gruesome,they may be offspring of your avatar.D*
Blademan,What acid he didn't injest he poured on the Python.D*

 

[eagleeye]

Agree,if you can wash off the gold pimples you might have something nice

it would not be so bad if not for the little wads of grapes or tumors or whatever those little yellows things are

Must have been engraved for a Napa Valley Desperato.

I'm surprised at you guys...don't you recognize a Boone's Farm wine revolver when you see one? The nastiest, most vile alcoholic beverage put on this planet except perhaps strained sterno ...AND NO I've never tried sterno but back in the late 60's that Boones Farm stuff made many of my fellow college friends hug the porcelain god. As to the Python in question.....the stocks, for a winery company person are kinda neat, the rest of the gun is, unfortunately, beyond repair

 

[Stnmikita]

I think the saddest thing about this Python is the amount of work that went into it.

Then, when it was all finished, they had this.

Simply terrible.

On the upside, the engraver did "sign it". :bang_wall:

 

[03clyde]

Newest camo treatment?

 

[chaosrob]

If they find a buyer that thinks it reflects their taste, and they are happy and look upon it with joy then I am very happy for them.

 

[Altitude]

From a collector's standpoint, doesn't the destruction of another Python help the values of the remaining ones? Not to encourage such a tragic end.

It appears this is the work of a highly skilled engraver. I found two examples of his work on an auction site. A couple of Krico rifles that sold for over 1900 Euros each.

Bonhams 1793 : A fine .222 (Rem) sporting rifle by Krico, no. 611922

Bonhams 1793 : A fine 8x68mm sporting rifle by Krico, no. 90094

MtnSpur, I'm surprised at you. Boone's Farm was premium stuff compared to California Red Mountain which we consumed in gallon quantities in San Diego during my Navy tenure there in the '60's. Think it went for about $4/gal. Was all we could afford then but it did the job! Glad those days and headaches are behind me, but such great memories.

 

[66Park]

Sheesh...If someone gave that to me, I couldn't possibly keep it. And I'd have a damned hard time selling it for anything. That thing is UGLY.
