memphismeister Posted August 17, 2015 Share #27 Posted August 17, 2015 Mine is a 1943 Remington Rand that at some point went through Rock Island Arsenal. The interesting thing about this pistol is that it still retains the original finish and the correct parts configuration for the year of manufacture, so most likely it was inspected instead of rebuilt. Pistols were stamped for both inspections and rebuilds, so unmolested original pistols that exhibit arsenal stamps are still seen from time to time. Nice Piece, However the main spring has been replaced in yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmc3439 Posted August 20, 2015 Share #28 Posted August 20, 2015 Nice Piece, However the main spring has been replaced in yours What makes you believe that the mainspring housing has been replaced by seeing a picture from the side that obviously does not exhibit the checkering pattern?

Navybean Posted December 25, 2019 Share #37 Posted December 25, 2019 Colt 1911A1 #1,680,000 range RIA Refurb. Sold thru the NRA via the Anniston Army Depot, Dec. 1961 with box. Frame is a nice Colt and the slide is a Ithaca. The box has the serial number matching the Colt frame but the box calls the weapon a "Ithaca" maker to match maker on the slide. Inspector is GHD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navybean Posted December 25, 2019 Share #38 Posted December 25, 2019 a few more pictures showing more of the box and the inspectors mark. RIA (Rock Island Arsenal) marking is on the Serial number side of the M1911A1 frame which is a bit different from the location of the Augusta Arsenal (AA) marks.

collector Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share #39 Posted February 11, 2020 Colt 1911A1 #1,680,000 range RIA Refurb. Sold thru the NRA via the Anniston Army Depot, Dec. 1961 with box. Frame is a nice Colt and the slide is a Ithaca. The box has the serial number matching the Colt frame but the box calls the weapon a "Ithaca" maker to match maker on the slide. Inspector is GHD Navybean, my Remington UMC was labeled as a Colt due to the slide as well. Even though it is a refurb, they would have wanted more for it because of the relative scarcity of pistols by that maker. Good lesson for those of us who are into the 1911/1911A1s, maybe get a better deal, but I suppose it could work both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
