No, I didn't buy one of them. I was out tonight to meet up with my little cousin, the chef, and pick up my order from her. We got to talking about the upcoming SASS match in Maryland and then she asked me if I ever heard of a "Singer revolver." I seem to be becoming one of the family elders so I asked her if this was something that connected to the Singer Sewing Machine Co. and she said it was. It meant something to her because she had a Singer sewing machine. Thanks to the firearms reference library that had been amassed by my dad and by myself, I was able to give her the story she was looking for. I was able to tell her that Singer Sewer Machine Company was a company that had been engaged to make .45 automatic pistols for the US Government in World War II, but since the war ended rather quickly after Singer was engaged only about 500 pistols were made before the contract was cancelled. Because of that, the price of a Singer made pistol would be very high, assuming one could be found for sale. I guess I got on a roll because then I told about how the jukebox company Rock-O-La was engaged to make M1 carbines, and that I found one for sale at a police auction but I was new at my job and probably hadn't received my first paycheck then.
I try not to miss a chance to pass down knowledge and experience to the younger generations. As my dad used to say, "If the older generation didn't pass along its knowledge to the younger generation, we'd still be living in caves."
I trust the information I imparted to my cousin was reasonably accurate for being a rather impromptu lecture.
