COLT 1911A1 lend lease to RUSSIA s/n ?

[Sergio Natali]

FWIK Russia received a number of 1911A1 from the States during WWII.
I would be interested to know where I could find the serial numbers of those guns.

Apparently in the time lapse 1943-1945 in Russia received ~13 000 COLT 1911a1 by lend lease contract, I've read that they were in the s/n 980,000 - 1,100,000 range but I haven't find any reliable document to proove it.

You'll be able to identify those by the "FWW" marking on them - they were bought and sold via Frankonia in Germany. I have Ithacas coming from Russia in the 1.256.xxx range.
