Unique Find - Singer German/Russian Post War
This machine is a Singer casting with a serial number from the Wittenberg Germany factory. After the Germans were defeated in WWII the Russians confiscated all of the machinery and contents of that factory as war reparations. PMZ (which this one is labeled for) continued making machines with the equipment it seized from Singer, however they were not stamping serial numbers. (This whole paragraph is from what I understand in digging as deep as I could)
Being this machine has been serialized by Singer and has the C prefix, it signifies it was manufactured in Germany.
I'm looking for more insight on this, the history is vague. I'm wondering if this machine was actually made by the Germans, sat in the factory for a bit and then was seized and decorated by the Russians?
