Just Purchased this Python...

Question, was I ripped off?

There is a little rust, but the gun looks great. I just wish the original barrel was on the gun.

No, you weren't ripped off.

Look carefully at the revolver, especially the barrel. Are there any marks that tell you who did the custom work?

If a revolver can be traced to certain 'smiths, it's worth a premium, possibly FAR more than you paid for it.

I've looked all over that gun for some sort of mark. I will look again. Thanks again!

I will look again.

Did you find anything? Very few smiths (a lot more than today but still very few) were doing PPC revolvers on the Colt platform back in the day. If you have something from one of the masters...
