Another 1911A1

[dillardrg]

I have retired and have sold most of my guns, M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, S&W 1917, couple of shotguns, Ruger single action revolvers, and am down to my 45s.

This 1911A1 I may not sell, but would like to know as much as possible about it including approximate value. I purchased it at a gun show near Knoxville, TN sometime in the mid to late 80s .

It is a Remington-Rand SN 2445750 which I believe is 1945 vintage.

The markings are;

Grips (brown plastic or bakelite) inside Left one is 22 with a 5 point star.
inside Right one is 25 with a 5 point star.

Slide, Left side: REMINGTON RAND SYRACUSE, N.Y.U.S.A.
Top fwd of rear sight: P

Barrel Lug, Left side: P
Right side: HS

Frame, Left side: by mag release P
Behind trigger; Idiot scratch and FJA

None of the other parts have any markings that I can see.

Here are some pictures;

I hope you can get some idea from my poor pictures, any information would be appreciated.

The magazine is Vietnam era; the number is a GSA part number. The CAGE code 8R611 did not turn up the manufacturer; are you sure it is correct?

H-S on the barrel means it was made by High Standard.

Post Vietnam magazine, or perhaps a copy.
There were gazillions of them at gun shows in the 80's.
