The action is excellent, Remington Rands are known to have exceptional reliability and are considered amongst the best of the World War Two produced 1911A1’s. The acceptance marks FJA belong to Lt. Col. Frank J. Atwood was the U.S. Army Ordnance officer in charge of war production in the Rochester district of New York from 1942 to 1946. The frame also has a P proof mark under the magazine catch. The Slide markings are the type 3 variation and on the right side of the frame are an Ordnance Department wheel and crossed cannon, U.S. Property marks and serial number. This is a great time to invest in historical artifacts. This 1943 manufactured Remington Rand 1911A1 is a prime example, a gun that can be used and admired while gaining value. The pistol ships with one two tone magazine. One would have to search far and wide to find a better example! Thanks for looking!
