Old Model Colt Python .357 Magnum Revolver

6" Barrel | Hand Engraved by Ricky Sharp | Genuine Ivory Grips | Vintage Scroll Engraving | Serial No. 45134

OVERVIEW

Offered here is an extraordinary Colt Python chambered in .357 Magnum, serial number 45134, transformed into a true custom presentation revolver by Tyler Gun Works.

Widely regarded as one of the finest production double-action revolvers ever built, the Colt Python earned its legendary reputation through exceptional hand-fitting, remarkable accuracy, and what many enthusiasts consider the smoothest double-action trigger ever produced. Introduced in 1955 as Colt's flagship revolver, the Python quickly became the benchmark by which premium double-action revolvers were judged—a reputation it still enjoys among collectors today.

This exceptional example has been completely hand engraved by Ricky Sharp in a traditional vintage American scroll pattern. Unlike many contemporary engraving styles, the scrollwork is executed without background filler, allowing the graceful cuts and flowing design to stand on their own while showcasing the revolver's elegant lines. The result is a timeless, understated appearance reminiscent of classic exhibition-grade Colts.

Complementing the engraving is a stunning set of genuine ivory grips, individually fitted to the revolver and polished to beautifully contrast the deep blued finish. Together, the traditional scroll engraving and genuine ivory create an elegant, period-correct presentation worthy of one of Colt's most iconic revolvers.
