That Colt python was made in 1975.
I dont see any python serial ending with a 'V'. however the end production for serial number is 5550 in 1958. So, your python might be a 1958 model.....................
first year of production 1955
A Colt Python serial number 35128e was manufactured about 1964
The serial number of that particular firearm is 55032. Took alot of research, but I have unearthed the answer to your question.... Your python was made in 1967.
The records I found from 1955 t0 1985 do not show a serial number that high for a colt python.
On the butt
Your colt python was made in 1975.
manufacture date of the python is based on serial number.....................
Depends on it's serial number.
1963
Look on the butt and frame
is the "P" part of the serial number? Haven't seen that before.
