Back when I was in the Navy, I was on the ASROC security force and we carried 45's. If I remember correctly we had a couple of them that had 'Singer" on the slide. There were a couple of other 45's that had another name that seemed odd but I don't remember what it was.

Did Singer make 45's back in the dark ages?
