Combat Python
Good morning gentlemen. I had an offer of $2500.00 in 2007. My most recent offer was $4500.00 and I'm holding out until it reaches $5500.00.

The prices I've had suggested range from $1500 to $2500. It may be best to go the auction route as 500 of this model make it extremly...
I've a 3 inch Combat Python which according to Colt was 1 of 500 made. It's been fired perhaps 24 rounds and other than that secured in my safe for 15+ years. It came with factory sight inserts and I have the original box and papers for it.
Can anyone give me an idea as to value on this?
