Any advice or direction you could give would be very much appreciated. I'd really like to learn the history of this gun and approximate what it might be worth. It makes me think this was brought back to the States by a soldier and may be quite a find. Inside looks to be identification initials and a seven digit number of who carried it. This gun came with a US service leather holster in great condition made by Warren Leather in 1918. I understand a 95-100% original is worth some bucks but rare. I didn't break it down too far because I don't yet own it or have experience stripping a 1911. It comes with 8 mags (some with R, S, and possibly another letter I can't recall). Also has the Ordinance Dept stamp but is a light stamp. Towards the front of the frame is a U and possibly an E or a 3? It also has the FJA stamp behind the trigger near the top of the handle. The inside of the frame near the hammer has what looks like a 6 or a 9. The inner barrel looks superb and marked HS with a P on the other side (may be slightly larger than the P stamp found near the safety button.I can't really tell).
I've looked it over at it's condition is fantastic. Atwood inspectors stamp and stamped with the ordinance inspectors stamp. I have a Remington Rand 1911A1 that has a Type II slide markings, original DuLite finish, stamped 'P' proof mark, stamped FJA Col. I think son-in-law Mike would like for his brother-in-law to take first pick. I cleaned all his guns (shotguns and rifles) and helped get them back in storage. 38, and an older Hi Standard Model B, sand magazine.
His other pistols were pretty ordinary S & W. It comes with a G-marked General Shaver WWII magazine. I cleaned and stored his Remington Rand 1911A24. Story has it the guy who passed had it given to him by his grandfather who served in WWII (not sure what capacity). I am new to this forum and am looking for some help in determining the value of a Remington Rand that I just inherited. Remington Rand 1911A1 - Original Description: As far as I can tell, this 1945 manufactured pistol is original in every way.
I'm seriously considering buying a 1943 Remington Rand 1911A1 (serial NO 1285XXX) that someone I know is selling for a friend's estate sale.
