Slide number matches the frame.The way your serial is stamped makes me wonder if At least you haveĪ good description of what marks are correct. Hope this helps! Time for some gun porn.įinding a correct barrel is going to be tough and expensive. Remove the firing pin retainer and see if the slide matches the frame Should have a "Colt 45 Auto" on the barrel and a "P" on the lug. Getting to your question, here is the barrel. Pay attention to things like the # bumps on the checkering, etc. Your gun and my gun were made earlier in the year. This is correct as the cross cannon stamp did not start until late 1942. Notice the lack of the "cross cannon" ordinance stamp near the hammer. A lot of Colts have their grips replaced with Keyes Fiber grips (used on other WW2 M1911A1s), but the rings are smaller. Take a look a the grips, the reinforcing rings should be "fat".
By the way this one of my best conditioned collectables. I've taken detailed photos so you can see if your parts match. I have a pistol that was made in the same timeframe as yours (1942).

A mostly-authentic wartime production 1911A1 - or soemthing else?Īny information you can pass along will be greatly appreciated. In one place, it is stamped "S&W while in another place it is stamped "M" and in a third place "P." It carries the number 7791183, several million units higher than the frame number. The mainspring housing does not appear to be correct and in fact, it appears to be a mainspring housing from a 1911-1915 manufacture pistol, made either by Colt, Springfield, UMC or North American. There is really no way to tell as far as I know if any or all of the internal springs are the real McCoy. The short guide rod and the spring cap appear to be correct. The "United States Property" stamp is in the correct location. The thumb safety is also correct, as is the placement of the frame serial number. Immediately below the slide stop the letters "EJA" are stamped into the frame The slide stop is the correct one for RemRand pistols in this serial # range, as is the trigger - stamped and Parkerized, as noted for RemRand 1943-45 production. Which National Guard was not specified, but I am presuming Army National Guard. One authority I consulted indicates this is early 1944 production while a second indicated it's a number from any time in 1944 or 1945.Īnother search indicates a Remington Rand pistol with that number was probably originally issued to the National Guard. Last week, I purchased what purports to be a wartime production Remington Rand 1911A1. Hello! I've just registered with the 1911 Forum and this is my first post.
