    Question 1911 Remmington Rand 45 acp?

    I got a interesting 45.
    This is a Remmington Rand Inc Parkerized with inspector"JM" still in new condition. What bothers me is:
    1918 Colt frame s/n 233601-580600 (blue book info)
    1943 1st Remmington Rand s/n **916405-1041404
    It does not have any other stampings.
    The s/n; 276XXX
    What catagory does this fall into and what is the value??

    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.

    What type of finish were the first 255 units produced by remington rand?
    Also there is no arsnel rework location.
    The inspector is j m gilbert above the mag release.
    The sight news states that because shortage of prints to build rr had to get parts from other contractors and also use 2865 item from colts' wwi inventory.

    Now what it worth??

    The partial serial number indicates that the receiver is a 1918 manufactured Colt. I suspect that it has been rebuilt or just had parts swapped and now has a Remington Rand slide. The receiver is the pistol, and it is still a Colt. The Colt originally had a blue finish, and the phosphate finish indicates a refinish.
    The first 255 Remington Rand pistols were Du-Lite blued over a sandblasted finish, as were the next 85,000 or so.
    Major John M. Gibert was in charge of all inspections and acceptance of Colt pistols and revolvers from August of 1917 until March of 1918.

    Go back and read the posts. The pistol is not mint and it is not unfired. It is a mix-master with a WWI receiver and a WWII slide.
    What is camfur?

    Where? You must be talking about somebody else's pistol.

    Assuming you mean camphor, what does that have to do with making a pistol valuable?

    The ad says manufactured in 1918, and a sentence later says it was manufactured in 1943. Not hard to see why it has 0 bids.
