at the present time the 2 1/2 inch python is selling very high. go to Gunbroker.com and bring up the python. Note price and gun condition and that will give you an estimate of value.
the above is a goof suggestion. follow it........
the Colt Python is a 'model' but no number was used....................they came in 2 1/2 inch barrel, 6" and 8"

I assume you colt is a single action revolver ????? if so, made about 1888
Anywhere from 2-16 inches.
value of any firearm depends on overall condition. at present time the Colt python model is going out of sight on prices. Anywhere from $1200 upward. The 2 1/2 inch barrel model prices are out of sight......
Actually, the cartridges are .45 ACP (automatic Colt Pistol) and .45 Colt (the cowboy era revolver cartridge. There is not really a Colt 45 Long. Can a revolver shoot both? Some can- they are chambered for the Colt .45 -but to shoot .45 ACP they need a "half moon clip"- a strip of metal that holds 3 of the shorter .45 ACP cartridges. 2 of those fill a 6 shot revolver. The PISTOL (not revolver) that shoots the .45 ACP cannot shoot the .45 Colt- no groove for the extractor to pull a fired cartridge out of the chamber, and it is too long.
value depends on overall condition.........
