the one that got away - got away -never owned it
wandered into an antique shop shortly after the long bitter battle for custody and divorce, came out with three kids, a less travel job with a 15K paycut and a massive debt. I really had no business going in any really dont need it shop.
there in a booth was a cased with accessories small bore high grade side by side muzzleloading shotgun from a good London maker. good wood and leather case, all the tools and for a steal of a price, which was still out the question at the time. months later I went back and of course it was long gone.
That one got away, the ones I had but don't now, didn't get away, I let them go for a reason
