I came across this set of grips, which I believe are original Colt Pythons.  I am considering selling them, since I have no use for them at the moment.  Can anyone tell me a little more about them?  If they are Pythons, I know they can be worth a decent amount.  I don't want to misrepresent if they are not...

Those are genuine Second Type Python grips.
Many people think this version are the most attractive of the Colt Target grips.

These usually have a satin gloss finish so either it's worn, been stripped, or just isn't showing up in the photos.

Value on these START around $150 to $175 and go up from there these days.
Look at closed auctions on Ebay and the internet gun auctions for actual selling prices.

Thanks for the info.  These do not have a gloss finish, but look pretty much like new takeoffs.  I don't see any signs that they are worn or stripped...

They could be very early versions that still had a dull oil finish.
