Description:

Manufactured in 1967. This beautiful Python was engraved and gold inlaid by the late Master Engraver Floyd Warren of Ohio. Featuring deeply cut and punch dot textured scroll engraving with bold gold wire inlaid accent lines. The left side plate features two crossed flintlock pistols in high relief gold inlay on a finely textured punch dot background. The right side of the frame features a gold inlaid U.S. Presidential seal. Fitted with carved grips with a bald eagle on the left panel and an American bison on the right. The grips have "USA" carved at the tops and feature inset precious stones. Each panel is set with five rubies, two diamonds on the right, one on the left, five large sapphires on the right and four small on the left. The right side of the grip strap is marked "ENG. BY F.E. WARREN/1971" under the grip panel. Includes two independent appraisals, one for the revolver as a whole from the International Society of Appraisers dated December 19, 1981 and one for the precious stones alone from Roberts Distributors Inc, dated from August of 2013. Also includes a small bag holding three rubies and three sapphire that have come loose from the grips.

Rating Definition:

All of the gold inlay remains. Masterfully engraved and gold inlaid with 99% of the blue finish and just a few scattered light handling marks. The grips are good with some age cracks at the bottoms, slight discoloration and as noted some loose stones. Mechanically excellent.
