Apparently quite a number of lunchbox specials were leaving para-ordnance a few years ago. The giveaways were guns without ever having had serial numbers, and in the white frames. The rascals later started drilling out the serial number area to throw off the suspicions that the guns were coming from the assembly line.
Somewhere in the Don River there may be a lunchbox special. I heard a story from an old boy who worked for Inglis back in the day of a special that was secreted out of the plant.
Apparently though fear and common sense prevailed and the individual rapidly disposed of it when thefts were discovered at the plant and investigations ensued....Back in wartime this was considered a very serious crime, theft from the Crown and the prison sentence quite lengthy.

that's impossible a responsible union employee would never do anything that would tarnish a collective agreement....
I worked in an automotive electrical parts plant. We made starting motors, alternators, coils, points, condensers, sparkplugs, and 2.75" rocket warheads. Vietnam era. Theft of the auto parts, particularly sparkplugs, was an ongoing aggravation for the company. I considered pitching a couple of reject warheads (we had lots, serious problems with QC on the threads on the base which screwed into the motor) over the fence at night to make a pair of endtable lamps, but never did.
There were also Inglis pistols assembled from parts long after the war. I can remember frames for $10, $15 with the stock slot.

There is a classic story from Romania. At the plant in Cugir where they were making the .22 trainer and other heavier stuff there was one section producing sewing machine. One worker "got" a bunch of parts to assemble at home a sewing machine for his wife. But no matter how he'd put the parts together the final product was a machine gun.
I saw one for sale recently was it here? At least the seller claimed it was a LBS.
Heres something of interest not quite a pistol part theft but still shows what they were up tp back then. I cant remember the date I have it somewhere.
