To get an idea how much your Colt Python is worth, go to GunBroker.com. I saw prices from $1,699 up to $4,000 depending on year of manufacture, condition, and if it was in the original box (and the condition of the box).
I would keep this pistol as a rare treasure entrusted to me by my father. It is a treasure to be shot occasionally, cleaned, and maintained with tender, loving care. You are a very lucky man.
