Okay a couple photos. As you can see it doesn't have the Python frills but the internals are the same. I actually like the "old fashioned" look. It looks like it should be riding in the holster of some small town cop in 1958. Very serious and all business. The heavy bull barrel gives it some real heft. It's very clean with a crisp bore. The internals were dry and needed some lubrication, but they're also clean and functioning. I don't really think it's been fired for at least a couple decades. And then I don't think it's been fired very much. Timing (always an issue with the older Colt DA revolvers) is dead on and there is no endshake. So here it is. I like it.
