Bargain!!

[sailor723]

I was looking through some of the boxes I have and noticed this one. $92.50 seems like a deal to me ....... although it was 62 years ago.
Even adjusted for inflation to $825 it still seems like a good deal for a well made, accurate gun.
I think these 3-5-7's are really quite under valued when you consider there were only about 15,000 made in the 1950's

Just found this. Looks like the price of my 3-5-7 had gone up a couple of bucks since this ad was running. That's a sweet deal on Pythons even adjusted for inflation.

I have 4 inch just like that about 95%, bought cheap last year, great gun. but I don't have the box.
The python was just SO much more back than, They are under valued I also think ,the 357 model that is.
Smiths are easier for the average person to work on.
Dan Wesson is the best that way
Some where I have a listing from about 1960, Python was $99.00 SIR maybe?

If they ever become prohibs you just may see those prices again.....

Mine is that way already, I like it better than the 6 inch, but my customer base is small, ( but active)
Too bad that colt never made 4 1/2 or 5 in ones, the 3 inch one was great, LOL.
Most of old farts with 12-6, just figure one more won't hurt, and lots of great bargains out their, with the exception of the snake guns.

I have a 1956 .22 Officer's Model Match and a 1964 OMM chambered in .38 spl. Both are a joy to shoot and I think represent great value in today's market. I got the .22 in a package deal that included a 1941 Officer's Model Target also in .22. Interesting to be able to see the design progression. (The OMT photo is the darker blue/gray background)

Can’t wait to see both original boxes, and both unfired rifles as a matter a fact!!

The Deerstalker (marked on the barrel) was only manufactured for 2 years (1961-1962), 3,750 rifles made. Name changed to .44 Carbine following the Ithaca lawsuit. The Deerstalker marked rifles commands 2x to 3x the price of the common post ‘62 .44 carbine model
