colt python question
I was doing my weekly stroll thru the local pawn shops and found a colt python 6" blued in the orig. box. Shes asking 999$ for it,,,but it has 1 rust spot right where the wood grip meets the metal finish @ the rear of the grip about 3/8" in dia. (if the hammer was ****ed it would be on the left side of the hammer where wood and finish meet) I've always wanted another python and im thinkin i may get it a little cheaper than asking price? Any of you handgunners have thoughts on what i should pay for this gun as is? Other than the rust spot the gun would easily rate @ 99%,,,and as a matter of fact,,,i would almost venture to say that the condition warrants "unfired",,,Let me say that if i buy it im gonna shoot it,,,oh and this is the 357 mag. version,,i know there was a couple diff. calibers but what else do i need to know about these pistols to research a good price?
Thanks for any help
