Oddball guns you liked and wish you had kept . . .

I haven't seen threads on this kind of thing, so thought I'd start one. By "oddball" I mean guns that weren't all that common, that you got rid of and lived to regret getting rid of. My own example is a Miroku .38 Special snubnose revolver. Yes, you read that right: Miroku made revolvers, and I used to own one.
I bought it at a LGS for $175 in about 2009, mostly because it was cheap and had a nice finish. The dealer said someone came in and sold it to them who had found it among their father's things after he died, and they had the original box, receipt from the original sale in the 1960s, and proof-testing tag to prove it. It seemed to have never been fired.
I subsequently found out that thing had a smooth-as-glass action, and a GREAT trigger pull. I have never, ever held and a fired a gun with a better trigger than that Miroku. It wasn't a true snubbie, but their full-sized gun they just cut the barrel down on. But it was a great shooter nonetheless.
Then . . . tough times hit several years later and I pawned it for $80. I had no intention of giving it up, and could've easily bought it back. But I forgot all about it. By the time I remembered/noticed it was missing and went back to the store, it had been sold. *sniff*

High Standard nickle plated over under derringer in .22 mag. Pawned it for food many years ago. Never should have let that go.
