The three I have held were all "Royal Blue"


I suspect any multi-colored or duo-toned Pythons are the work of aftermarket, but this is only an opinion.

Pythons were available in both blued and nickel plated finishes, as well as stainless steel.  I do not recall any factory two tone finishes being offered.

Personal opinion is a good thing, and everyone is entitled to one.  The hard part is separating informed opinion from someone who is just blowing hot air....

That is what I suspected.  I have a friend that has a Pawnshop and there's one there with the cylinder, trigger, and hammer all nickel plated.  It's rough, but the serial number is 3XXX...so that makes it a very old one.
