If I'm doing it right the E number is 1975 and the V is sometime after 1978. All references on Colt serials I have ever seen stop at 1978 and yours is later.

I believe that all blued Pythons were "Royal Blue" as Colt called it.
 
I also have a Python with an E suffix, but a 5 digit number that is larger than yours. Mine was made in 1978. If Mr. Dfariswheel is around, he can likely tell you when your guns were made.
 
kory123,

Allons! You at NTC? That garden spot reinforces my contention that the military gets ALL the prime real estate!
