Colt Python 24 Carat Gold Description

If you’ve read the original Ian Fleming novel “The Man with the Golden Gun” you will be aware that the villain, “Pistols” Scaramanga, has a gold plated Colt .45 revolver. If you’ve seen the James Bond movie that was rather loosely based on the book you will know that the movie Scaramanga has a golden pistol that looks like something you’d purchase from a toy store. 

But it might have been better had the screenplay authors decided to give “Pistols” Scaramanga a real Colt, and back in 1974 the best choice would have been a gold plated Colt Python, one of the world’s greatest revolvers, gold plated, and perfect for a screen Bond villain.
