A Day Late And A Dollar Short!

Not a dollar short, but a day late. :banghead: While visiting my usual Enfield sites last night, I came across a 1941 Long Branch for sale, but it was too late to call. I called first thing this morning only to find out it sold yesterday and the check was in the mail.

The pictures were not great, but I have purchased from this dealer in the past and have never been disappointed. Is there a forum member out there that would like to confess to buying the 1941 LB with sling and bayonet for..............$175.00 :yikes:

Congratulations and good find to whomever jumped on it a day before I did. Post pictures when it arrives!!

Thats the way it usually works with me, specially the dollar short part.:madsmile:

Typical. I get told that 1941 Long Branches are very uncommon, so I buy one, and now they are coming out of the woodwork. Similar thing happened with my NZ-marked Long branch - hadn't seen one before, managed to find a nice example, and now I trip over them at every gun forum I go to...sheesh! Then again, one did recently sell on a certain online gun auction website for $961 (someone has more money than sense..).

When the dealer told me it was already sold, my first thought was, "I bet it was that damn spinecracker!" :p

I'm not that lucky lol. Besides, you've beaten me to the punch before lol.

Did the seller post photos? It would be interesting to see them.
