#Remington rand 1911a1 checkered mainspring housing serial#
The serial was stamped after it was finished. both shipments were sent raritan ordnance depot in nj.Īll the proof and ordnance marks on it, were stamped after it was finished. With a serial of 880xxx your pistol left the factory in a 1000 pistol shipment either september 2nd or the 7th(of '43) depending what those other three digits of the serial are. The f you have is in the right spot, but it's like the j and a have been buffed off, tho it does not appear to have been buffed.
as the only one it should have is the fja. You did'nt picture or mention either, but the slide stop and thumb safety should also be checkered. The messed up p in front of the rear sight is a proof mark and correct. The hs on the barrel is high standard and correct. The course checkering on the msh abd trigger spur on correct for an early ithaca. I need to take a better photo of this one. This is a 1943 Remington-Rand, it has the original finish. Knurled mainspring housing on a 1943 Remington Rand M1911A1. It's a commercial replacement, I retired the original to preserve it. It's quite possible they were switched around during the war. The one example I have like this is a 1943 Remington Rand (below). I have seen knurled mainspring housings like yours, here's the housing on my Ithaca. Here's the bore if you want a gander, it'll enlarge if you click on the image. The color in this photo is a good representation of the actual parkerizing on this pistol, although it isn't original.
Despite the sewer pipe grade bore, it's one of the more accurate handguns in my modest collection. The mag release is a commercial replacement I installed about 15 years ago, as I was shooting this 1911 a lot. This was cause for initial concern, but was later deemed not to be cause for rejection. Note the two-tone appearance at the muzzle and the slide stop, caused by the heat treatment. The following photos may help you evaluate the completeness and condition of your M1911A1.
Your first photo shows some glare around the thumb safety, suggesting maybe this part was heavily buffed -? I can't tell due to the lighting when this photo was taken. It should also have "FJA" on the frame near the trigger, for Frank J Atwood (then inspector). The parts appear to be mostly correct, I think the HS mark on the barrel is High Standard. It appears either your Ithaca's finish is worn smooth or perhaps someone tried reblueing it? Your Ithaca should have a phosphated finish which may vary somewhat from dark grey to dark green, and always flat. Either way, it's a keeper, and a shooter. What can you tell me about it? My first urge is to restore, give it a new parkerized finish and grips, preserving the original look, but I don't want to lower its collector and historical value if it's got some. One grip has this marking, I've seen similar ones but with a "1" instead of the "7" number: I found bad rust under the plastic grips (not visible with the grips in place), and a "G5" marking on the righ side: Inside the frame, I found what's called "the flaming bomb" mark:īarrel is black, in great shape and has a "HS" marking: Hammer and back side of the grip are checkered: There's a strange mark at the top of the slide. There's a "F" inspector mark instead of the more common "FJA": Here are some pictures:įinish is bad, there are a couple large stains behind the trigger, and a "7" on the trigger guard:

45 pistol, for what I've been able to find, it's a low series Ithaca made in 1943 (880,XXX), and wondered how original it is. Frank J.I wanted to post this in this forum because I did a little research and found that 2 years ago a similar tread got very informed and interesting feedback here.

Flannery blued barrel and ramp in the white.
