3 Singer 1911A1's | The Gun That Costs As Much As A House!

[@jamesjohnson4590]

In 1962, I checked into my first unit in Germany as a 2nd Lt. I was told to go to the arms room and pick up a weapon. I did. I was given the most worn disreputable chunk of metal you have ever seen. It was a very well used Singer 1911. When I left the unit 4 years later the arms Sgt. told me to just take it with me and he would write it off the books as "lost". I was tempted because it and I got along quite well. The armorer had accurized it by slamming it in a wooden door. It tightened the slide quite nicely. and I qualified several times and always as Expert. I turned the offer down because I didn't want to get caught with it while traveling. One of my many mistakes.

Depends upon with whom you speak. Not trying to be argumentative, some experts say less than 1500 of the original 500 have actually survived.

[@raefordguns8243]

@@thinman8621 I think that's sarcasm? Only 500 were made and most were lost by aircrews during the war. My point was that there are many fakes out there. I looked at a fake in person in 2007. The guy wanted $25K for it. Under close inspection you could tell by the finish and roll marks. It was very close and very tempting, I wanted it to be real but I passed. Caveat emptor!

At a gun show in Los Angeles in the 1970s I was able to handle and look closely at a Singer 1911A1. The workmanship was impeccable. Even on the inside the machining was smooth. If I could have afforded it I would have purchased this one over the Colt version. I vaguely remember back then the cost of this pistol being much more than Colts or the Remingtons. Tom, I am getting those giveaways all the time allegedly from you. I don't bite on them.

[@mopar_dude9227]

Back in the early 90s I leant a friend of mine $500 so he could buy a gun when we were at a gun show. He was young, but had inherited his grandfather’s gun collection that had several rare guns and a lot of just really nice guns. It included 4 1911 Colts from WW2 era, including one made by Ithaca and the one by the rail road company, the name escapes me. But he always said he wished he could find a Singer. He came up to me at a gun show and asked if I had found anything, and I said no and then he asked to borrow $500 so he could buy a gun he wanted. I knew he had at least $600, so I wasn’t sure what he had found, but at the time Gun prices hadn’t gone completely nuts. So I finally said yes and off he went, almost running. He caught up with me later and told me he wanted to show me what he bought, but only outside in his truck. He opened a pistol case and showed me the 1911 he had just bought, and I actually thought he was going to scream. He just smiled and said it was a Singer. I was happy he got it, but would be happier after he paid me back. He was able to pay me back all but $50 of what he borrowed over a couple months and I finally said he could forget about the rest, and consider the rest a birthday gift and continue to let me shoot the guns in his collection at times. He did get the gun checked out by a gun expert and it was indeed a matching Singer 1911. He had paid $1200 for it, not sure we’re he got the other $100. The guy who checked it out also made sure it was safe to shoot and between the two of us, we put about 100 rounds through it. The gun ran flawlessly and was super accurate. The finish was worn some, but it felt super tight and didn’t feel like a 50 year old gun. I was really amazed by how great the fit and finish on it was. The only real problem was that one of the grips has a very small crack in it, but it didn’t seem to go all the way through. I lost track of my friend after 30 years, but I wonder if he still has that gun. I imagine that if he is still alive, he does. He wasn’t the type that would sell off his guns, only hand them down to his kids.

[@thomaswhiteman4261]

Great story! The railroad 1911 by the way is the Union Switch and Signal

[@mutantfmj]

in 1986 when USMC Recon first stood up Direct Action anti-terrorist unit , I was issued a 1911A1 Singer as my sidearm to go with my Vietnam era CAR-15 , to begin CQB training. 100,000 rounds later my CAR-15 kept breaking parts, and I was issued a MP5N. Then one day while shooting drills, the slide of my 1911A1 Singer flew down range following the bullet. The Marine Corps armorer's in Quantico , totally rebuild the gun into a MEUSOC 45. They took all the old 1911s and 1911A1s in the Marines and rebuild them from ground up.

[@jimh8580]

I thought Singer received a contract to make the tooling to build 1911s and that the contract required the assembly of 500 pistols . I understand that once the contract was completed the tooling was sent to Remington-Rand . I could be mistaken .

[@MrTruckerf]

Sounds plausible.

[@indydurtdigger2867]

When I was an armorer in the Marines in the early 90s not all of the units had been issued Berettas yet. The MCAS armory still had 45's and one full chest of 50 was a mix of Singers, Ithaca's, and a couple of the Remington Rands. All of them had super low round count cards. Sadly the unit was issued Berettas and all three chests of the 45's were sent to Barstow to be destroyed. 😒

[@jimlasswell4491]

I've always thought it funny that the 1911 I carried in the Marines in the early 70's was built by Singer. It never occurred to me that one day they'd be valuable. It was accurate.

Some time in the sixties my father had a Singer. He was a National Match Course shooter. I have his hard ball gun that he bought through DCM for $65. It is a Rem. Rand. He accurised that himself. Stippled the front and back straps to the hilt. It still shoots 5 shot ragged holes at 50'. He told me the Singer was very valuable. Collecting ment nothing to him. It had to "shoot" for him or it was worthless. I begged him to keep it for me. I said I would give him the money he was going to sell it for. He got it for next nothing and was going to make a few bucks on it. I don't remember the price, but it seems to me it was less than $200. A chunk of change in those days. I was about 11 or 12 and had already started saving for a car, so I had the money. He said that I didn't need it and had no business with it.

[@tonylam9548]

It is the year 2511 or 2539, these ACPs are a bit noisy but still, every bit as deadly as it was in 1911 and just as reliable, provided it has fresh ammo. It will still fire in the vacuum of space, in high heat, through mud and salt water and after it been ran over by vehicles. After all, in Star War, Hans Solo used a Broomhandle, another much desired collectable classic. The Singer is a rare gun, but I be just as happy with one made by Colt, a name more associated with the 1911s. The closest I can get to that for me now is a Colt Woodsman, with a heavy barrel. The gun was made around the 60s and I inherit it, workmanship is excellent, same grip angle as the 1911 but hidden hammer. I used to be able to drive nails with it, and someone younger with the eye sight can still do. But I am in the restrictive Canada, if I get an ACP, I likely get one from an 80% kit that no one know about and a threaded barrel for suppressor.

[@kennethjackson7574]

Wow. One of those was at one of my active duty units in the middle 1980s.

[@peteengard9966]

You have to wonder how many rare 1911s were cannibalized for parts to keep up the army's inventory? Every part on the 1911 was interchangeable. One of the 1911s I had in Germany had a Colt slide on a Remington frame. I disliked the back strap lines. They were deep and dug into your hand.

The 1911 probably wasn't a Singer dad used in WW2 . He was promoted to a Sargent in the field by Patton and his officers. He was given a Thompson sub , but turned it down.

The fit and most importantly the blued polished finish...plus the cost of the gun used as a base, handgrip molds to make them hollow backed etc etc it starts adding up. You might be over at least a half a million, and it is hard to move too many fakes without being identified as a faker. The serial numbers at only 500 mean there are finite ones to use as well. Point is every one of these things is an obstacle, and an expensive one. I imagine there are peculiarities in the internals as well. Provenance is important in buying old valuable things. I once saw a map from the revolutionary war drawn by the Marque De LaFayette's cartographer during the battle. It was bought at his estate sale, and the family that owned it came in the 1600s. Sold in the 400Ks at auction.

My pre war Colt has a lanyard loop on the mainspring housing, the housing is also checkered rather than ribbed. Were lanyard loops dropped from ww2 production A1's?

Why is every slide nicked on the bottom edge? Accidental contact with safety?

[@ruadhagainagaidheal9398]

What kind of clumsy klutz scratches the slide of a $400k Singer-not once but twice ?

[@MyS10Rocks]

Just curious, does one owner have the initials D.V.? I know someone that owns one, not sure if his is on here.

I've been trying for 30 years to get my uncle to give me his singer. He's 93 and still says no.

[@allanfulton7569]

You would think singer would have made more throughout the war

[@jimbobxcityguy5338]

I read Singer made machine guns as well. I have owned Singer Industrial Canvas/upholstery machines and they are forever if kept oiled. And weight a ton. I've owned Jap and Chinese knock offs and they aren't in the same ball park as these older singers. Just seeing the thread tension adjustment knob and the quality of work and steel compared to knock off stuf. And they do 2500 stiches per min. They must of made a heck of a machine gun.

Hey I bought this expensive magic gun for 3 magic beans. Common' gun SING !

[@spacecoyote6646]

I can't find the part where he talks about the price. What's the price of the singers?

[@LegacyCollectibles]

Assuming all original parts and condition, around $250k !

[@lancedooley7558]

Singer makes gucci sewing machines. There's only 3 of the best in the world. Singer, Atlas, and Juki.

[@Raydarman1]

In the Army I had a 50 cal machine gun made by Singer

My buddy has a PRISTINE Singer. I offered a grand for it but unfortunately he knows what he has.

[@ostrich67]

You were willing to rip off your buddy? I'm glad that you're not MY friend.

[@hughmarloweverest1684]
