I mentioned these in a thread by the same name before. Repeating it just makes the sting worse, but whats done is done. There was the 32" 12ga Del Greco restored BHE with beaver tail forend. What a beautiful gun it was. But what I regret even more was letting a Parker try gun go, along with the original tools and leather pouch. I sold it way to cheap even for that time period. It makes me ill thinking what it's value is now. A couple of others that hurt was a T latch serial number 72. The barrels were cut to 25 inches but the gun was in remarkable shape otherwise. The other was a 30 inch 12 ga CHE. It had been recased colored with a torch and the goose engraved on the floor plate had a stupid looking smile on it's face, but it was my CHE and I loved it.
I thank God that better times came around and I now own some nice original guns, but I'll always remember those that got away.
