Default Snakebit

Another thread got me thinking about this one--mid-70s vintage factory "B" engraved. I do wander occasionally, but I've had this since then--very difficult to let go. First time in daylight in quite a while.

Wow, that is beautiful. I suspect your in-box is filling up with kind offers to take it off your hands. With regular Pythons bringing upwards of $3K I can't imagine what a factory engraved NIB one will go for.

It's nice to see that something from S&W (the vapour paper) is living in harmony with brand C.

Thats a beautiful Python. It's the first engraved one I've ever seen.
