I didn't know that. Wow, now I might actually need this .327 SP101. My dad has lots of .32 ACP ammo.

I happen to know where there is a Singer 45. The latest Blue Book puts a Singer at around $35,000 (USD). And yes it's the real thing - not a fake. The owner has solid provenance. It was purchased by his grandfather when he left the United States Army Air Corp in 1946. The grandfather was a bomber pilot. The bulk of the 500 some Singer 45's were issued to the 8th Air Force. Those were the B-17's that ran the daylight bombing raids against Germany from 42 - 54. Most of the Singers were lost in combat.

It's a family hierloom and the guy knows what he has. It's very impressive being around it.

Nice. I saw a Singer at a show once, but it wasn't for sale. One of these days I'd like to just SEE a North American Arms 1911, but in 10 years of collecting I've only ever seen the one for sale online.
