Description:

The included factory letter lists this revolver as being chambered in .357 magnum with a three inch barrel, blue finish, and checkered walnut service stocks when shipped as one of a group of four to Southern Ohio Gun Distributors in Lebanon, Ohio on November 22, 1989. It bears the special roll mark of "COMBAT PYTHON/357 MAGNUM CTG." on the left side of the barrel, along with other standard markings and features. While the original edition was intended to consist of only 500 revolvers for distribution through Lew Horton Distributing Company Inc., the factory letter mentions that new research revealed that an additional 300 revolvers were also made for sale on the international market. It also includes an extra Pachmayr "GRIPPER" rubberized grip.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% plus of the original blue finish with slight handling marks, a light cylinder drag line, and crisp grip checkering. Mechanically excellent.
