Value arsenal refinished remington rand 1911a1

I thought it had been redone, but browsing the web I saw quite a few guns with almost a similar finish. The gun looks Parkerised, it is a light grey, almost silver colour. In very good overall condition as gun appears to be arsenal finished. I'd post it on the WWII section of the 1911 forums and see what those guys say. I am contemplating buying a RR 1911A1 in good condition. ARMY roll Buy Last Ditch 1945 USGI WWII Remington Rand 1911A1 Army 45acp 1911. Honestly I'm wondering if it was a different frame that was re-done to look like a Remington Rand frame.

It's also missing the proof mark on the frame above the magazine release. It may have been refurbished by someone else as you almost never see a Remington Rand with those proof marks stamped that clearly. It would have an arsenal rebuild stamp on it somewhere though and I'm not seeing one in your pictures.ДЄlso, something that bothers me is the fact the Arsenal stamp (crossed cannons) and the FJA are really clear. If it came from the 'public sales' from one of the arsenals in the 50's or 60's, it's probably an arsenal rebuild. On just a quick glance, I'd say the frame looks like it might be from an Ithaca.

The markings on the O/P's pistol were definitely applied in a different way than the original markings.Д¬heck out It has about everything you could want to identify WWII 1911A1 pistols. Not a collector, but a nice gun non the less.Д¬omparing the markings on my pistol to the markings on the O/P's pistol you can clearly see a big difference. From what I can see many of your parts are refinished and I suspect the entire weapon is. The barrel was blue, as was the disconnect, mag, safety, pins, MSH, hammer. is different from what I have seen however it does not mean a fake either.ДЄn all original RR had different colored small parts - not all the same uniform finish. I have seen the crossed cannons on other 43's, but not as clean and sharp as yours and the ones I saw had the original finish, so it is odd that yours are so clean and sharp. When a pistol became worn or was damaged, they were repaired or refurbished at U.S. A Remington Rand slide will fit on a Springfield Armory frame just fine. The pics are difficult to see the finish or the markings. One of the great assets of the M1911 pistols total parts interchangeability becomes a real trap for collectors of government issue pistols. The FJA stamp is correct, thou somtimes these are faked on a newer slide. A barrel without marking is not original.ДЄ mag marked G or RR on the mag would be correct for a 43 Remingtion Rand - I see no marking from the picture so its not original. He checked it out and it was in MINT CHERRY condition.barrel was dirty but great nonetheless.

Any markings on the barrel? An HS marked barrel is original. My friend went to the pawn shop a couple of days ago and bought a Remington Rand 1911a1 for 480. 45 caliber semi-automatic pistol used by the United States. However, during a rebuild, this MSH could have been installed at armory level, so it does not mean its a Buba parts gun. Today we are shooting the Remington Rand 1911A1, manufactured in 1944. The MSH is not correct for a 1943 RR from my experience. My take is without papers, the box is suspect. Original parts are availabe and it may be worth collecting if the frame and slide are in good shape. This is a nice pistol for shooting, however it has some non-original parts, but its a nice looking shooter as long as you did not pay too much.
