No box or papers, but she's beautiful.

What offer should I make?

Nickel can bring a premium, but 6" guns don't seem to be the ones most people want.

With box and papers it's worth easy 2500-2800 bucks. I would expect a dealer to ask 3K or more though.
I'd probably lowball at 1500 to see where they are, and start realistically at 2K. I would not pay box and paper prices that's for sure.

Ooof.

The seller has been offered $3K, but he wants to get $3600.

Too rich for my blood, unfortunately.

3k is too much 3600 is stupid and the blued ones look way better then the nickel ones.

The big money is in the short barrel one's made in lower production numbers. You can find 50 6 inch barreled ones for sale for every 4 inch one or shorter.

I'd probably grab it 1500 and I don't like blued.


The original 6" nickel pythons are way more desirable these days because of walking dead and to a lesser extent call of duty.

Save money by purchasing a new stainless 6". Stronger frame and action, nicer trigger and half the price.

I want an OLD blued 6” gun with the full checker grips. Other wise, I am looking at new pythons with improved metallurgy and lock work.

You aren't getting that Python for $1500.  $2500 would be a stretch.  $3K maybe.......
