We need much more info:
Blued, nickel, satin stainless, or mirror bright stainless?
Barrel length, 2 1/2", 4", 6", 8" or a rare 3"?
Caliber .357 or .38 Special?
Original wood Colt Target grips, version of Target grip?
Percent of original finish?
Any rust, pitting, or scratching?
We can tell you when it was made if you post the serial number, or you can call Colt and they'll tell you over the phone.
IN GENERAL, a blued Python in 95% condition with original grips starts around $800 and up.

Since Colt Pythons didn't come in wooden boxes, I'd wonder if its a commemorative or other limited edition model or someone just bought an aftermarket box.
The serial number will be plainly stamped on the frame just below the barrel where the cylinder crane fits, and opposite that on the crane itself.
Here's a site that lists Colt serial numbers up to 1979.

We have numbers up through 1985, or you can simply call Colt and they'll tell you a production date over the phone for free.
A 99% 1980 Python would be worth anything from $1000 to $1200 dollars, and possibly more in some areas.

If you can find a buyer is right. I've had a 6" matte stainless Python sitting on consignment for months now.....still no takers.

A 1980 Python w/box? I'd buy it for $800 any day.

Welcome to THR, Sunny.
It's best to start a new thread if you have a question. There's not as many readers on the old threads.
