I'm also guessing your bluing is original. The one I inherited looks like yours, but with holster wear as it was a duty weapon. I know mine hasn't been re-blued. The bluing on that era of Python was phenomenal. ______________________________________________ Endeavoring to master the subtle art of the grapefruit spoon. | |||

It looks straight and original to me. Mine have holster wear and some bumps from PPC, IPSC, and IDPA competition. Frankly, I now shoot Smiths more when I want a revolver. I guess I could clean the old Colts up and sell them for a profit but I don't know what I would buy with the proceeds that I would like better. | |||

it should be easy to tell if it is a refin. Look at the letter stamped on the barrel. The edges of the letters will actually be raised from the stamping. With a refin, these edges tend to be worn down or are gone completely. Also, compare the stampings on one side of the barrel to the other. | |||

Of the seven deadly sins, I'm torn between lust and envy. Beautiful pistol; I love the bluing from that era. | |||

Beautiful! I inherited my Father's '67 a few years back. He stored it in a heavy leather holster for many years and it has a small blem near the muzzle. It only had 18rds thru it when I got it. ![]() | |||
