Nice pieces. The Smith appears blued, perhaps a 586.

I was thinking the same thing. Opinions will tend to be a little biased. I own both and have to admit I was drawn to the Python for it's looks. The full underlug with the vented rib has an awesome look to it. Pretty sure the 586 as well as the 686 was Smith's answer to the Python back in the...

The prelock snubs are the most sought after. Nice condition with box & docs $1,000 plus.

Very nice. Looks like you've changed the grips. The new grips are a little narrower and interchangeable with the old python.

Manufactured for export to Brazil. Do you have the box?

I Like your taste! 686 no dash & 586-1.

The 4" seems to be preferred.

Test to see if it would work for this amateur.

686 began regular production in 1980. -1 in 1986. Nice gun and well sought after.

No dash

It seems that from a collectors standpoint the early s/n guns are highly sought after. Must be in order to pay that kind of money. The seller must have had to pinch himself. :)

Pre-Lock 686 is a good find. Enjoy and stay off those auction sites.:)

Purchased on GB. Had zero luck trying to find locally. Went to a gun show yesterday and was disappointed. Hot dogs and jewelry!

A couple of recent acquisitions I'd like to share. 686 No Dash. 586-1.

I am absolutely anal about keeping guns clean. :)
