maybe we should have called them SWARTZ widows, purely an American Invention, the fact they were black, was because they had went to salt bluing in 1937, the fact SOME of the grips were black plastic was because there was a shortage of wood for the grips. The fact they were called BLACK WIDOWS was that there was NOT a shortage of American Creative nomenclature! A salesman idea....and it worked big time!!!
