It has a 4" barrel, double action revolver, is made with nickel, and has a wooden handgrip. It is supposedly a limited edition and is not being made anymore.

I paid $150. for my first Python, a small fortune in the Sixties. Then a very reasonable $460. in the Eighties for a Colt Royal Blue beauty w/4" barrel.
Assuming that the Python you are asking about is the original Colt nickel finish and is 99% or better, then it is going to be high dollar. You say it is a limited edition? Is it the Colt Python Elite (the newest version of the Python) or the original Colt Python? If it is the Elite, then it will be shiny stainless steel and not nickel finish. The Elite will have the word "Elite" on the barrel and it is a newer version of the Colt. Also, does your serial number begin with a letter, or only numbers? No letter would make it an even earlier Python.
I paid $900. for a matte-finish stainless steel 4" original Colt Python with original Colt rubber presentation grips about two years ago. I paid a thousand+ for an original Royal Blue 6" Python w/wooden original Colt grips 100% like new this year.
Although it is hard to appraise firearms without seeing them, if your Python is original and 99% complete: $1,000. You can write to Colt firearms and send in your Python's serial number for a complete history of your revolver. Used to be about sixty bucks for that service depending on how fancy you wanted the return letter to be.
Remember, they're not making anymore Pythons so I would consider keeping it (if you are the seller). If you're the buyer offer eight or nine-hundred and see what happens.

Rose, your profile doesn't allow e-mail, but if you wish, e-mail me and I'll give you some tips as to how to tell if your Colt is shiny stainless, nickel or original Colt nickel finish.
Best,

I'd listen to D58 and H. They are among the most knowledgable in this section. Anything with the word "COLT" etched on the side is worth money. Check out www.auctionarms.com or www.gunbroker.com to see what they are selling for.
I was considering bidding on Colt service revolver in .357 magnum. It went for about $400 online and was pretty old. I'd say that a python in limited addition is worth about $800 as a guess depending on the condition. Colt's only seem to go up in value, so I'd hold onto it. If you do sell it, try using a local FFL dealer to sell it online rather than using a pawn shop where you'll get ripped off.

Well right at 2 years ago I sold on Gun broker.com (a web auction) a 8 inch blued Colt Python .357 Magnum for $1295.00 so I will say a lot.
Link attached for gun broker.com and do a search for the Colt Python an see what they are going for.

Here is my only suggestion for you ... just focus on saving the money - don't worry on how you are going to spend it. Why? Because new stuff comes out every year and you are talking about 3 years to get to the Marines, then probably a 4 year stint in the corps and then buying your guns. So it is going to be something like 7 years before you currently are planning to throw down green on a weapon. It was only a 2 year period over which Smith and Wesson, SIG and Remington all got into the 1911 game, and Ruger is now right behind. Who knows which is going to be the best 1911 by the time you want one? The number of companies building AR weapons has exploded in the last 5 years all across the price range. Who knows what's going to be hot when you are ready. Hell, maybe some American company is finally going to decide that it is worth tooling up on a modified AK design and gives people a non-import choice in the matter. So, I wouldn't settle on it now when you can't buy it, I'd just keep an open mind and save the cash for now. Thinkingblade

Don't get too excited. I have seen 6" used model sell anywhere from $599-799 depending on past use. These are not like 1930s-1940s commercial Colt 1911-A1 pistols (now those are over $1,000 easy!).
The only time I ever saw a Python for over $1,000 was back in the 1999 when Colt sold their dome and it was rumoured that they were out of business for good (which was NOT true). Condition is everything with those guns. Abuse a Python and it really shows on the cylinder/lock-up area.

Pythons in good condition sell upwards of $1k all the time, since they haven't been made in years.
