Missed out on what was reported to be a very nice Colt Official Police 4" made in the 1950s.

Price was good, very good if in the condition it was reported to be in.

I was talking with the owner; unfortunately someone else was also talking with the owner at the same time, and he bit first.

Sigh.

I'd say a day late and a dollar short, but this time it was just a day late because I actually had the dollars...
