Very interesting article. I was born in 1937 and remember WWII very well. I had many relatives in the armed services and I remember taking fat renderings to school for collection, newspaper collections. ration stamps and air raid drills. My mom was a bullet inspector for Remington. So, I appreciated your article and comment. I have a Singer 66 that is in mint condition except for a small amount of sun damage on one side of the cabinet. It is a special treasure.

A friend of mine says that out of the 500 Singer pistols produced, at least 2,000 of them are still floating around lol.
Here's a great video that should give you a perspective of Singers operations way back when. It's long, but very interesting.
