Beautiful snakes you have. I can't decide which I like the most, maybe the blue.

Nice indeed.
Which on is your favorite?

Well picking a favorite between these three is tough because all of them are beautiful....but since the bluing is so exceptional on the 1968 Python, in this case I'd have to choose it as my favorite, All three of these are unfired.
 
Although I'd said that my blue 68 Python was my favorite.....when compared to the bright stainless Python above it only won via a whisker due to the truly exceptional bluing on this specimen! Btw your Python looks real nice despite the fact that it was a shooter and having had a rough life...and apparently you have given it great care!

As much as I love bright shiny guns, if I had a choice between those three Pythons I would go with Royal Blue version every time. Thanks for the photos.

Yikes, what's Slick going to torture us with next? A gold-plated Korth? Dan Wesson serial number 1?
Keep em coming! ;)

These are shooters. The upper is a 1963. Darn near half the blueing is worn off, but not a speck of rust.

ColtPythonElite already knows the story on mine, but it spent a few years on my aunt's garage floor after my uncle died unexpectedly. Some friends boxed up his personal effects from his semi sleeper. The Python was on the bottom of the cardboard box on the floor of a heated garage for three or four years before she discovered it and gave its' remains to me.

The guys at Colt remodeled it for me. They deserve the glory, because it was baaad.
 
The Colt Python is the finest production revolver ever made IMO. There are revolvers that perform as well, but none that look as good doing it,
 
Except maybe the smith Wesson k .32,I have a k.32 and would not trade for a Colt Python

Their unfired condition would not last long on my watch.
I don't smoke, drink or eat to much anymore but there is a limit to my willpower.
