You probably know that a Singer-manufactured 1911 is worth a lot of money. Singer only made a few hundred 1911s.

IIRC the Singers are the most valuable vintage 1911s around. I don’t know much about 1911s (just don’t work for me - tried a Kimber and it just didnt fit), but I think that there were only about 500 Singers made.

That thing is probably worth a fortune. The Singers are the most rare as I understand. I seen one listed in SGN that went for over $80,000 at auction.

It may be very collectible, and worth a lot of money!
