There are so few of them that the $100k mark tends to be easily exceeded on those rare occasions when a really nice one shows up.

Word is this one was refinished per some experts over on 1911forums, but done correctly. They don't come around often.

If it was indeed refinished, then that kind of price makes no sense at all.
Over the years, I've kept an eye open for a US&S 1911; my old man was an Irish kid from Swissvale.
Saw one at a show for less than crazy money, but the vendor freely admitted it was a mixmaster.

ETA- Reviewed the pictures; that looks mighty shiny for a GI gun...was that the usual standard of finish for Singers?

Never heard of it before but just did some quick research. Very cool.

If I recall correctly the Singers did, indeed, have a high-gloss blue finish. That said, to maintain it in mint condition for this long would be a feat.

Will break $100k easy.
