Hi everyone. I don't normally post this type of thing, but I was recently offered a colt python by a neighbor who's retiring to a country that doesn't allow gun ownership. He knews that I was an enthusiast and offered me his revolver for a song(half of what I could find anywhere).
It looks like everything is in order, it indexes correctly, and there's a small scratch near the cylinder release. The grips have some wear and I would like to replace them or repair them but I have no idea if these are original or not. I checked the serial stamping and this particular item was made in 1961. Is it worth trying to track down any sort of original parts like grips, box, manuals, etc?
