Python
I don't see too many Electroless Pythons. They must not have been as popular as the Bright guns. Check past auctions on GB & AA.
You didn't mention what the barrel length is.
Don't worry about the manual. If you had the box I would say it would have been more important.
Those grips are about $100-$130 to replace and would make a big difference in the look of the gun. How bad are they ? Those would have been the 1/2 moon style checkered.
Do you have pictures, that may help.
You could probably sell it and buy 3 Taurus Revolvers, or 2 Nice S&W Wheelguns or ????

Electroless nickel is a good finish for a shooter, but something of an eyesore. A 1969 Python ought to have a pretty sweet trigger.
