Manufactured in 1989 and limited to a total of 500 pairs. One is finished in Colt Royal blue while the other is polished stainless. Both feature a ramp blade front sight with an orange insert and fully adjustable rear sights. The left side of both barrels are marked "SNAKE EYES". The matching serial number "83 EYES & EYES 83" are stamped on the butt. Other features include the wide checkered hammer, vent rib and thin serrated triggers. The Colt logo is stamped on the left side plates. They are both fitted with a set of smooth faux ivory grips with two die scrimshawed on the left panel in black and a royal flush with red on the right panel. This set came with an illuminated wooden glass front Snake Eyes display case that has two decks of Colt Snake Eyes playing cards, two die and some poker chips with green felt back ground. CONDITION: The blued revolver shows only a ghost drag line and some handling marks. The Stainless example has some of the usual small handling marks found with this finish but the grips have toned and the screw shows some marring. Neither shows any signs of having been anything but test fired. The case is excellent and complete but does show some fading. A very special Python set that has sky rocketed in popularity. PROVENANCE: Jim Cyr Collection.
