FOR SALE: Colt Python 4' - BlueThe serial number dates this revolvers manufacture date from '67 forward.The revolver was purchased new in OR by a relative. It has had less than 200 rounds thru it. The gun was carried in a holster while hunting which resulted in significant muzzle wear. The gun has been re-blued by the Colt factory, Colt Royal Blue finish.

View QuoteThe code I'm just assuming is the serial number prefix letters at the left side of the numbers of the serial numbers, in your case with the LE6920 is prefix letter 'LE'.On Sporter marked SP6920 (and other variants) model the prefix letters is 'SP'.The closest to the mfg date would be stamped on your factory plastic bag that's wrapped on your carbine.Like what member AMMOTECH posted go to the Colt site, Customer Services tab, then click Serial Number Lookup, but sometimes it won't have the info because the info are not loaded in their database yet.
