    Brazilian 1911 slide

    Picked this Brazilianicon 1911 slide up today, thought it might make a good build. Left side is marked 'FABRICA DE ITAJUBA-BRASIL', right is marked 'EXCERCITO BRASILEIRO' with Brazilian crest. How interchangeable would this be with other 1911 parts, and how old would it be?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    It should be a straight swap and i believe manufactured in Brazilicon from the 1930s thru 1990s.

    Current commercial "Springfield Armoury inc." 1911s are/were rebadged Itajuba pistols.

    Purchased Colt 1911 and 1911a1s from the early 1920's. Set up licenced/unlicenced production possibly as early as 1927ish.


    lots of discussion on the internet:
    N and NM Serial Number Prefix and Where the Pistol is Made
