Hope this attachment of a K 38 5 screw pistol works. I also have one grip for an older Python and one for a newer python.

I'm very interested in one of these grips. How do I tell if my Python is "new" or "old"? The serial number is 6406xX where "x" is a number and "X" is a letter.

The difference is that the "Old" Python is a Colt MK1 & 2 and the new one is a Colt MK3.. I guess It should say on your Python or you will have to contact a Colt internet group.

I have one left for the MK1&2 Fitz model X/ACP
Wood/Accuriser Colt Python

Two? for the MK3 X/ACP-N

OK I've narrowed mine down to 1970's production, so I'm willing to gamble that it's a "new" model.

What's the price, and what payment methods do you accept?
 
Olympic Grip price

My pistol gripsbright red ammo safes and primer flippers were carried in most of the sporting good stores and gun shops in the country. I now refuse to sell to dealers or take anything but money orders as dozens of shops that I had done business with for many decades made a large order, had their checks bounce, wiping out the majority of my inventory during the fuel crisis of 1979-80 and they sold my inventory at gun shows. Half the gun dealers in our country went out of business then.

I put my grips in storage and am digging them out of storage now to assist my Social Security. My 1979 price is $75 + $6 shipping and needed insurance. Much simpler copies of my palm swell plate grips that we invented in 1924 are going for hundreds of dollars now.

I have refused two offers from the High Standand company this week to buy my remaining HS grips. I am selling at less than half of current values to make individual shooters happy. One attorney shooter-collector bought 8 different grips two of which designs were the last ones as he said that they are now collectables.
