Hello all, my roommate just acquired a 1911. Its made by Ithaca (on the slide) and the serial number is "XX8862" (on the frame). I'm having a hard time finding Ithaca serial numbers that match that. Does anyone know anything about these?
It also has a stamp right above the mag rease "GHS" which the internet says is a "Gilbert H. Stewart. Found on Colt M1911s SN 101,500 to 230,000" mark. So its an Ithaca slide and maybe a colt frame? So its some cobbled together 1911?
