WTS Colt Python 8" DFW North, try concealed carrying this!

Howdy, this is far from a carry piece but I'll list it here since I've "known" a bunch of guys here for quite a while.
Colt Python 8" Nickel $1,325.
No box or papers but it is in very very good shape, almost no turn line and the revolver is very clean/unmarked.
The light is not great in my office. I will try to take better lit pictures. The nickel finish is excellent on this Python. The low light makes some areas look mottled but they are not. Includes new stocks shown and no-name rubber grips that came on it (which feel great but don't look too "cool"). If I keep it long enough before someone else wants to have it, it will also have a set of custom Elk Horn grips (but not yet). It's been around 30 years; it's in no rush to get anywhere. I am the second owner (purchased last month to assist a neighbor who lost her husband). Excellent shape, faint turn line, no box or papers, inspection and firing available to legitimate purchaser at the Dallas Pistol Club (that means cash in hand and you don't look like Charles Manson [or, if you do look shady, you have a CHL]) prior to purchase. Bet I can find a box of ammo or discount for TXCHL holder/forum member (preferred). K serial number, mfg 1981. Edit: I did not buy this planning to sell it but I would prefer to have it in stainless or blued; they are rather hard to find stainless. the nickel is growing on me however. :-)
Good shooting,
JW
