If you think Colt Snake DAs are over-priced

[Donn]

Colt's been out of the DA revolver business for some time, but the Python aside, they were production guns and in most cases, Colt made a ton of them. High prices for the Python are outrageous but somewhat understandable. That said, $600-$700 for a well worn Detective Special is NOT understandable, it's an insult. Going to a show tomorrow, and if there's a "Dick Special" there, I'll wager that's what the price tag will say.

A special R. L. Wilson special order Colt Python—with a high estimate of $4,500—would see a sale price of $11,500.

That sounds pretty special.

Maybe the auction took place in Japan, and the prices are expressed in Yen.

I ran into Jerry Moran recently in a lgs, talked about pythons.

Worth the cost of one and the conversation was free!

With the tombstone for Colt already done except the date of death speculators are snapping them up. If you think they are high now just wait till Colt goes under!

The name will always be on someone's gun..
