mikedon Posted July 19, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 19, 2020 A few U.S. WWII KA-BAR blade marked USMC 1219C2’s knives and M1911 A1’s for the weekend. The first three KA-BAR’s have a blued blade finish, next one Bonderized blade finish, and the last one a dark Parkerized blade finish. The .45’s are Colt, US&S, Remington Rand, and Ihtaca, (in the box). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorin6 Posted July 19, 2020 Share #9 Posted July 19, 2020 No Singer M1911A1? I"m waiting for that one to show up before I comment on what a great grouping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spagg Posted July 20, 2020 Share #10 Posted July 20, 2020 Very nice grouping. Now all you need is a nice WWI Colt 1911? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okie96 Posted July 21, 2020 Share #11 Posted July 21, 2020 Impressive display as is! Can't say I have an original 1911 yet. A Colt would be nice but they made the most. A decent US&S would be very cool for a mid-war example. Nice to see these nice examples. I'm sure a lot of time and effort went into putting these together. I still don't understand how some stuff that was in such demand managed to survive in the original boxes and packaging for 75+ years. Do you have a USMC emphasis in your collection? Interesting thing about the Singers is most believe they all went to airmen yet I remember a marine vet who kept his 1911 speaking on some documentary telling about getting it. They landed on some island for deployment to the lines and some crates of 1911's were dropped off and broken open, said help yourself. No holsters, just the guns. He stuck one in his belt and went on. Showing it in the documentary the sucker was a Singer of all things! Who knows what the actual stories of some of these pieces are.

I thought WW2 production had Remington Rand producing the most with Ithica and Cold in the middle and US&S being the least...(Singer excluded of course).

collector Posted July 22, 2020 Share #17 Posted July 22, 2020 Nice set of pistols! Sure, any shots are appreciated, interesting to see the changes over the production life. Those pistols are a big favorite of mine. If any of them are arsenal refurbs could you add it to this thread please: Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
