Description:

WWII 1943 U.S. Remington Rand 1911-A1 .45 ACP Semi-Auto Pistol. The left side of the slide is marked “REMINGTON RAND INC. / SYRACUSE, N.Y. U.S.A.”. The top of the frame is marked “G” at the disconnector. The left of the frame below the magazine release and the top of the slide in front of the rear sight are marked with a “P” acceptance proof. The left side of the frame above the magazine release is marked “FJA” (Frank J. Atwood Lt. Col., Sub-Inspector for Ithaca, Remington Rand and Union Switch). The right side of the frame is marked “UNITED STATES PROPERTY / NO. 1566345”, “M1911 A1 U.S. ARMY” and at the rear there is an Ordnance mark "RIA". The left side of the trigger guard is marked “2”, the right is marked “H” and “Y”. The barrel is marked “P” on the left link-lug and the number "7" on the bottom in front of the lug. The top of the magazine floorplate is marked “G”. The front sight is a short serrated, ramped blade fixed to the slide. The rear sight is a square notch dovetailed into the slide. The 1911 and 1911-A1 pistols served the military of the United States from 1911 to 1985, through two World Wars and the Korean and Vietnam wars. They gained a reputation as a reliable handgun with plenty of stopping power, and are held in high regard by those who have used them. As was the case at the outset of the 1st World War, demands of the US Military would outstrip the production capacity of Colt when the United States entered World War 2. In this case, contracting pistol production out to other companies had been planned for and simplified due to educational orders and a production study, notably conducted by the Singer sewing machine company, which developed comprehensive plans and instructions for a company which had never made a 1911A1 to order materials, machinery and set up manufacturing for the pistol. Remington Rand was the star example of this project’s success, and by the end of the war would go on to produce just about as many as all of the other maker’s combined, at the lowest price and highest quality. This example was made by Remington Rand in 1943 and is a neat example of a WWII Remington Rand 1911-A1.
