Always thought that .357 Python was just the cat's ass, shot a couple.
Remember the first time I got a look at one up close, first day first real job. Security guard at the movie theater where I worked. Cal had a pretty sweet '72 Coupe de Ville too.

1978 don't make it special...if it were 1968 you could add a few dinero to the price as it would not have a Letter prefix to the SN. and those were ostensibly better made spoons. 6 inch or 4 inch Barrel don't make much diff...Nickle add a few bux..say 150... Any wear puts it right around 1000.00 So get a price and dicker with him on the price a bit..if you get a super clean gun for 1000 you done real good. They are well worth having, they shoot great...all though they do not like the HEAVY 357 loads...get a SW 686 or 27-2 for that kind of work. And since Colt ain't makin that model anymore..the super clean ones will keep climbin in value..

I had a 8" SS Python for awhile, best revolver I have owned. But I never had a 686.

I had a West German KORTH with 4 inch Barrel in 357 with a factory presentation case..now a Korth is a hand built piece, that is machined from a solid block of speciality steel. Take about 4 to 6 months to build one of those babys...recent cost is right around 12K for a new one...less than 100 per year are built..
Python, Korth, Korth Python...I kept the Python as the Python was just about as nice for a whole lot less..kinda sorry I sold the Korth...I think it was the 30% margin that got me to sell...

thanks for the replies, I'll stick at a 1000$... looks like 1968 is the 1 to have
