Might be a bargan Singer

[hsr]

First I have no connection with this auction and can't afford to bid myself. But this might be a chance for a bargain, if it is real;

They also have a North American

I doubt that there will be any bargains. Word gets around quickly. This has been brought up before.

That Singer has been known for years. Something fishy with the $15,000 to $25,000 estimate.

'comes with Singer letter of authentication'. excuse my ignorance, but is that possible....?

[Scott Gahimer]

Sure. It's on the Internet. It's bound to be true.

That all depends on what the seller considers to be a Singer letter of authentication. It's his description.

[Scott Wilson]

The description also notes that the pistol has walnut stocks.

Ah, I guess you are right Scott, I forgot about that....!!! :^)

All reasons you should verify the originality of the pistol for yourself rather than taking the seller's word.

Those pictures certainly don't help. Of course anyone serious enough to be a player on this, would want to inspect in hand.

The Singer sold for $65k and the North American for $31k. The Singer's grips were the correct material and not walnut, but I have no idea if they were the correct Singer grips.
