I know they are Colt's, but I've always had a soft spot for Pythons.
From the top right: 1968/4" barrel; 1979/6" barrel/unfired; 1985/4" & 6" barrel/unfired
From the top left: 1981/2" barrel/unfired; 1969/2" barrel/unfired
Bottom from left: 1981/8" barrel; 1969/8" barrel; both have 80% engraving coverage (by a retired Colt engraver) with genuine elephant ivory grips.

Sorry the picture is a little big, but it shows better detail.
Stay tuned for some pics of the 1911 style collection (45s, 9s and others)
Thanks

WoW! That is one fine assembly of pythons! I can't wait to see the 1911's!

Very nice. Someone was busy on the engravery. I like engraved firearms, but worry about damaging the finish if used. The guns would have to be shooters for me.

That's a bunch of beauties for sure, thanks for showing them off.
Do you also have shooter grade Colts, or do you mainly collect them & leave them unfired?

By in large almost everything I have becomes a safe queen once I get it. I have many older guns (rifles and handguns) that were used prior to me acquiring them, but all but a few just find a home in one of the safes. If/when I do get older ones that are unfired, they stay that way; including many new purchases. I have a few favorites that I shoot pretty regular, especially those I would use for home or self defense.

Super sweet! Great collection. 
I see you have an extra barrel (looks like 6"), was an extra barrel something that came with some Colts, or did you buy separately? How difficult is it to change a Colt barrel?

The extra came with this particular gun. I have read that it is not that difficult to change the barrel, but compared to the DWs it looks like a chore.
I don't think I would attempt it. I'm prone to scratching and breaking things that are hard to replace or expensive.
