Maybe I have to change my name to machine addict.
Also, thanks for opening the shop!
You are so welcome I love that we have a "Shop" to go to and hang out and shoot the breeze and show off out machines!!!
Now the Blackside is the type of finish that singer used during the Korean war era and after. It took the place of plating the parts so that the nickel could be used for the war effort. It was a bluing type of finish like the fire arms had on them and eventually they use a paint towards the end.
They are sought after by collectors and often bring premium prices depending on the item. I am just now getting into the attachments and have a few of them I use but no Blackside finish ones yet!!
