thecandyman0838 Posted June 13, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 13, 2020 My lgs has a 1943 remington rand for sale for $1100. I was going to go look at it this weekend and was wondering if there is anything specific I should look for. The pistol comes with a m36 belt and holster that someone fixed a EGA to. I have no idea if the EGA is period or not. From what I've seen the pistol is blued. I thought all ww2 era 1911's were parkerized. Were some blued and some parkerized or is this pistol refinished? Thanks for any info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted June 13, 2020 Share #2 Posted June 13, 2020 A Remington Rand wouldn't have been blued war time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmcdoc67 Posted June 13, 2020 Share #3 Posted June 13, 2020 RR used Du-Lite finish on early 1911A1's. Parkerized after 1 million range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illinigander Posted June 26, 2020 Share #5 Posted June 26, 2020 When I turned 17 in 1958, thru the NRA I got a 1911 with a REM-UMC slide, and the rest is Colt I think. The slide and the rest of the gun are a smooth grey finish that match quite well; so I wonder if any refinishing was arsenal done after WW2? The pistol came from Anniston and I can't remember if it was $17 or $18. Illinigander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandyman0838 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted June 29, 2020 Sorry for the late reply but it turns out the pistol isn’t what it was advertised as. It was just a Remington Rand slide on a no name frame. Thanks for all the repliesSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecandyman0838 Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted July 4, 2020 It had no US property markings or acceptance stamps just a huge oversized serial number on the right side of the frame.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illinigander Posted July 5, 2020 Share #10 Posted July 5, 2020 Certainly seems the reasonable move. illinigander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
