Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Python is a .357 Magnum caliber revolver manufactured by Colt's Manufacturing Company of Hartford, Connecticut. It was first introduced in 1955, the same year as Smith & Wesson's M29 .44 Magnum. Demands were made for other finishes besides Royal Blue, so over the years, Colt offered the Python in Bright Nickel, satin electroless nickel known as "Coltguard", and in the early 1980s in satin stainless steel, and in bright mirror polished stainless steel, variously known as Bright Polish or Ultimate Polish.
In 1980, an 8-inch (20 cm) barrel Python was introduced chambered for the .38 Special. The Colt Python Target .38 Special was made in Royal Blue, and only 1962 Colt Python Targets were given the nickel finish. This is 1 of only 251 Nickel .38 Special Colt Python Targets made. These are highly sought after and are known for their reliability and superb accuracy.

The owner states that this piece is New Old Stock, and we see nothing that would directly indicate otherwise.
