Colt Army Special 38 - WHAT .38?

To conclude the story of "my" Colt Army Special 38, I did not get it eventualy. The auction it was on just finished today. The starting price was 120 euros, I did not bid on it, and it went for 220 euros (about $300 with tax and comission; condition was fine+). Instead, I bid on a Colt SSA 45 Long Colt 71/2" (third generation, circa 1978) in new condition - and got it for 600 euros (about $860 after tax and commision). I consider myself lucky as these are 2,300 euros (almost $2,800!) retail here in Europe. I have been dreaming of a real Colt since I was a boy (and a proud owner of a 1917 DWM Luger P.08) and now that I'm past 50 it's about time I got one...
