Hi all,

Hope everyone is well this Holiday season! Just curious, meaning my Christmas bonus is burning a hole in my pocket, are nickel pythons as valuable collector wise as a blue, or stainless?? I have 2 blued pythons with one in the mail for my collection, I was thinking about investing in a nickel snake as a change, thoughts???
 
Not too sure about the Python, but,,,

Nickel anything is a crap shoot.

The right buyer (like me for instance) will pay more for a nickel gun in like new condition than a blued one. OTOH, there's just as many, if not more, that won't buy a nickel gun unless it's priced very right (low).
 
In a Python they value about the same for a collector. The SS models don't have much collector appeal.
 
Stainless or blue!

My dad had a Colt Trooper with nickel finish - it was a pain to keep it looking clean. If you want a finish that you don't have to worry about being exposed to the elements, I would go with stainless; for collector appeal, I would go with blue. Nothing beats blue as far as aestetics, IMO. :D
