Remington Rand M1911A1 U.S. Army .45 ACP

Manufactured by Remington Rand in 1943 during the height of World War II, this U.S. military-issued M1911A1 is an iconic American service pistol that represents one of the most recognizable sidearms of the Second World War. Although Remington Rand is best known today for producing typewriters and office equipment, the company became the largest manufacturer of M1911A1 pistols during the war, producing nearly 900,000 examples for the U.S. military. These pistols accompanied American servicemen throughout Europe, the Pacific, and countless other theaters of war, making them highly desirable among military firearm collectors. This example is chambered in .45 ACP and features a 4.75-inch barrel with its original military-style grips still in place. The frame retains the desirable "FJA" inspection stamp, representing Colonel Frank J. Atwood, the U.S. Army inspector whose acceptance mark is found on authentic Remington Rand military pistols produced during this period. Included with the pistol is one Kimber magazine. Overall condition is good with honest handling wear consistent with age and military service, making it an attractive collectible that still displays well while retaining its historic character. Whether you're looking to add an original WWII U.S. military sidearm to your collection, seeking an investment-grade piece of American martial history, or simply appreciate one of John Browning's greatest handgun designs, this Remington Rand M1911A1 is an outstanding opportunity to own a genuine wartime production pistol from one of the largest military contracts of World War II.
