I traded myself into a Japanese sword -- made during WWII but not the terrible quality of late-war swords. Chrysanthemum intact. I traded it for a Luger and I don't remember for certain what I did with the Luger ... sold or traded.

I wish I'd kept the sword.

If I knew then what I knew now about SKSs, I passed on crates and crates of them in my lifetime when I had the chance.

Twice I was offered Broomhandle Mauser pistols for absurdly low prices and didn't buy either; the first time I was on my way overseas with the Army and my new wife had given me $300 to see me through until she showed up. The pistol was also $300 and I had promised not to buy anything with the money except getting an apartment for us. The second one was a post WW1French police contract pistol at a gunshow for $500, about half the going price but I was on the hunt for something else and passed. I also passed on an all straight #1mkV trials rifle thinking that the price was ok but nothing special. $300 was better than ok! Doh!
