They called them Blck Widows because everything was black.
Grips, mag bottoms, and finish on pistol.

It was a term coined to sell these.

Back in "the day" they were considered the least collectable other than maybe .30 commercials.

I remember well in the early 60s we turned up our noses at complete BYF 41 rigs for $50.
