Durango Posted December 21, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 21, 2020 I have a 1911A1 frame that I have not been able to identify, nor have any 1911-1911A1 dealers that I have talked to. I'm ether looking in the wrong place or I have something that is not Identifiable? The only markings on the frame is what I would call large serial numbers? 7 6 0 2 3 Also on the inside of the frame what looks like a 6 sided Star and Another Double Star Stamp?tamp of the same Star.

dalbert Posted December 22, 2020 Share #2 Posted December 22, 2020 It could be a Hebrew star, perhaps indicating Israeli manufacture. There have been many off brand M1911 pistol frame manufacturers going back to the 1960's. I'm not sure who made it.

72psb Posted December 22, 2020 Share #3 Posted December 22, 2020 There is a firearms company named "Double Star". Maybe one of theirs or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durango Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted December 22, 2020 I don't believe it's from Double Star as they haven't been in business that long and their logo is much different. I am researching (IMI) Israel Military Industries now as they appear to have been in business since 1933. As I understand there were many manufacturers of the 1911/1911 A1 frame. It seams to me someone may have a good lead or knowledge of this frame. Thanks for the information so far. I wold hope someone will come along and have a more information. Thanks again, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctorofwar Posted December 22, 2020 Share #5 Posted December 22, 2020 The six pointed star has been used on firearms and swords made in Spain as a proof mark. Your frame could be a Llama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durango Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted December 23, 2020 Doctorofwar, thanks I will also research Spain/Llama. It would seam to me a pistol without any markings besides a Serial Number would stand out as highly irregular, but what do I know? Thanks again for the info.

Scottz63 Posted December 23, 2020 Share #7 Posted December 23, 2020 Probably not (IMI) Israel Military Industries, they used a 5 pointed star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durango Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted December 23, 2020 Scottz63, thanks for the info. I did say it looked like a 6 pointed Star, but it also looks like it could be a 5 pointed Star The 5 pointed star that you posted looks like the Single Star on the inside of the frame as best as I can see. The other Star looks like a Double Stamped Star also inside the frame. I have sent a message to IMI and waiting to hear back from them. Thanks for the information. Like I've been saying, for a frame to not have much markings on it, I would think it would stand out in a crowd. I'm beginning to believe it's a much bigger crowd and it's just not that much of a standout. Like of said I've had a lot of 1911 guys look at it with no success. Hopefully, someone will stumble on to the right information. Thanks again for the info. Merry Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durango Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share #9 Posted June 19, 2021 I'm still in search of the manufacturer of this frame. I've researched all of the information above and am still at a loss as to the maker of the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Israel Arms International" 1911 The easiest way to make sure you’re getting a true Israeli-made gun is to field strip the gun and check under the slide for a Star of David. There will also be a Star of David on the barrel. You should also see a Star of David on the bottom of the frame once the grips are removed. https://thehebrewhammer.net/2015/06/16/the-ksn-gal-1911/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
