I have a NICE 1967-production Colt Python--six-inch, blue--that is probably in 98-99% condition...someone at work has approached me about possibly buying the gun. It is pretty much "Cherry", with the box, paperwork, facory test target AND original grips, as well as a coupla' sets of "Aftermarket" grips--one Rogers, one Hogue "Goodyear's"--what would be a "FAIR" price to extract from this individual for this piece???...Thanks....mikey357

Off the top of my head I'm gonna say upwards of 1K+!
If the gun is in the condition you describe that's a good price. You could probably get more out of it. To be safe though (in case I'm missing something do like Trespass suggested and double check. I could be off by a significant amount if there's a model or SN specific change.

I recently bought a 8" blue Python that was manufactured in 1967-68 in approximately 98-99% condition. However, I got nothing but the weapon; no box, no target, no paperwork, etc. I paid $750.00 and was happy to get it for that price. I would think the $1K range would be pretty close.
Good luck!
Good luck!
I agree with T Ward - keep it if you can. I bought a new 6" blue in 1979 (my first pistol) and sold it after 10 years (needed $ for another 'project'). Picked up a replacement (V series) this Saturday at a show and I'm a happy man -- poorer, but very happy. 
This one is not going anywhere....................
This one is not going anywhere....................A LNIB 60's vintage Python with paperwork matching box and paperwork? If it's all there it's at least $1,400. If box, paperwork etc are all as mint as the gun I'd say $1,500. No I am not joking. A NIB Python is 1k easily these days and production is halted for at least 1 year for new tooling and the new ones totally suck and I don't care who says otherwise.
