shootin the breeze
Missed it by that much
My opinion only but I think there will be a two-tiered pricing for Pythons depending on whether they were the new Python as long as they're in production and the original Pythons which are no longer produced. It will be similar to M1 Garands and Carbines...correct, original guns vs. reimported examples with the import marks on them.
There will be variations in condition, finish, barrel length and dates of production for values of the originals but essentially they will hold higher values than the new Python.
I think you’re right. However at the likely street price point, I can get a set to store in the safe plus one to shoot. Then see what happens in 20+ years.
