You will rarely find any kind of name on these custom guns created by private gunsmiths. It was commonly thought decades ago that Python barrels were magically accurate. However, Pythons were expensive, the actions hard to work on and the revolver was prone to go out of time.
Python barrels could be bought and fitted to S&W K-frame guns and Ruger Security Six revolvers. The S&W conversions were called 'Smythons' or 'Smolts'. Ruger conversions are called Cugers or Cougar(you can spell it any way you want).
When Smith & Wesson came out with the L-frame 586/686 guns in the early 1980s, the demand for Python barrel conversions waned.
That $600. price isn't bad. Try haggling it down a bit and buy it.
