Smith’s Classic line has not changed values of the originals one little bit.
My bet is the value of your Pythons is more at risk from people getting bored with Snake guns and I doubt I will live long enough to witness that.
I would also guess that the introduction of the new snakes will not affect the value of the classic snakes to the serious collector. But I believe that it will shrink the crowd of people that are willing to go the distance just to have an original. Many buyers will see the reasoning that you could buy at least 2 of the new snake guns for less than the price of a original, and if it is to be a shooter then it will not matter as much, if at all.
