do you have an documentation to go with it? you may not be a collector, but paperwork could make that peice worth a small kings ransom/fortune..

there may be paperwork from when my father had it appraised. just the generic 'running the serial numbers' and 'testing the grips', but those are probably long lost... otherwise, the story goes that my grandfather (who owned a Gas Station) traded some gas and maybe some $$ to some "down on his luck" G.I. passing through town sometime after the war.

900,000 pistols of that variety were made during WWII and only 500 were made by singer. there were no combo peices that I am aware of, but that doesn't mean someone didn't put together such a peice.

wow, didn't realize that there were only 500 Singer made weapons... it's probably a put-together piece, i remember that there was some confusion due to the frame and slide being made by different manufacturers. all i remember is that it turned out that one part was Remington and the other Singer. now that i think about it, it may be Chrome rather than Nickel plated... it's in safe keeping back with my hometown family, i haven't seen it since the pictures were taken. (i would never think of bringing it to California...)

back in the '80s it was easily a $3,000-$5,000 item. i have no clue what it would be worth now. but it's the closest thing to a family heirloom that i have, so it's not going anywhere. next time i get a chance, i'll try and track the serial numbers again, and i would like to find somebody to clean the grime from the grips and fix the couple of places where the plating has worn away. and suposedly the dragons on the grips once had red 'ruby' eyes, i'd like to get those back.

but yeah, it's a *totally* sweet piece of work, and my poor pictures don't do it justice.

Dude! Do you realize how offensive that is?

Someone missed Common Sense 101.

Actually, with just the original picture I had the same question, but unlike Schattenjedi had the tact not to ask.

She has a bit of a "mannish" facial structure, which is not at all unattractive on a female. Unfortunately, many males have the same degree of feminine facial structure and seeing only the face and the hair it can sometimes be difficult to tell the difference.

She'd make a damned poor man, but I find her looks very attractive on a female.

yeah, family heirlooms are better kept than sold anyways.. sorry i am sort of a weapons nut.. Until our house was broken into a few years back my father and I had quite a few weapons that had sentimental value.. so I know what you mean. Your pistol might also be worth more due to it's handle and other detail work rather than a collectors item. enjoy it and make sure you take care of it too..

Now let me ask: Are you blind or a jerk?

Thanks for clearing that up. I had just been learning about androgynes in one of my classes and I guess curiosity got the best of me. I promise not to ask that question to anyone else.

[kohyin]

I was curious to see the member pics as well. But there are too many comments, too much reduncancy, and too many creative works (not that anything wrong with them) rather than true member pics for me to go through all... I guess I am too old and too slow

I agree.

And I think Mike would make a good ambassador.

I'd make a poor ambassador, being almost entirely devoid of tact and diplomacy.

I would like to add that I find the very confident manner in which she looks at the camera and her very sparing use of cosmetics are refreshing, alluring, and charming.

All too many women rely too heavily on cosmetics, to the point of becoming a slave to the paint pots. Confidence and poise add far more to a woman's beauty than cosmetics ever can. Paint can not make an unattractive woman beautiful, but confidence and poise can transform an otherwise plain woman into something positively radiant.

har har, join me on my never ending scavenger hunt to find a girl over the age of 18 that hasn't had her ears peirced. It may be harder or easier in Japan, but as for Lubbock, I have yet to find a single one

Over your protests, I hope.

@Dehitay:

You can still find a few women in Japan who don't have pierced ears. And you can find a few who have a half dozen or so hunks of metal hanging out of one or both ears. I know it is entirely irrational, but every time I see a young woman like that I can't help but reflexively think, "I bet she swallows".

[prep_girl_Nessa]

Hey, what's wrong with ears pierced? I have one small hole in each ear that I got when I was two months old, not that I had much of a choice in the matter... But you can't really tell unless I have earings in because they are so small.

[tanuki]

Women piercing their ears is OK, I guess.

I'd be worried if I couldn't find men who don't pierce their ears. Tacky.

my wife and I discussed it for the longest time.. before they were born and after. I personally wanted it as my father had it with our family.. no pierced ears until age 16. my wife, wanted them done before they were 1. I argued for 8 then.. (what many consider accountable age.) my wife, actually took them to get it done each time while I was on "tour" in Japan, so I really couldn't do much about it..

Needless to say, I only let them wear small studs and only on special occassions.

I've not had my ears pierced, though I should probably add that I'm 15. So that may change soonish... but I'm scared to death of needles!
