Col python serial #

[allenre2]

I just purchased a Colt Python with an 8" barrel in nickel with a serial # of LA7349. Could someone please tell me what year it was manufactured and where I could get a box and paperwork for that year? Thank you, Richie.

This site shows 1980 as the year. http://www.guncollectorsclub.com/python_1965.htm

I don't know about the other items.

Your Python was mfg in 1980, records indicate there were 9899 mfg that year.
Try Rediscovered Shooting Treasures, you may be able to locate a correct box etc. there.
There are members of this forum and on tne Colt forum that are a lot more
knowlegeable than I am, maybe one of them will give better info.
