    Question on Ithaca M1911 A1 Pistols...

    What magazine manufacturer(s) was/were predominently used by Ithaca for its World War II M1911 A1 production? Are there specific identifying marks? Many thanks in advance for any help or information. Best regards, KarlKW

    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.

    Yes, Ithaca had three different magazines that were used. "R" marked for Risdon, "S" for Scoville and "L" for M.S. Little. All three were marked on top of the toe with the one letter designation.

    The same manufacturers supplied magazines to Colt, but in addition to the R, S, or L on the top of the toe they will have C-R, C-S, or C-L on the bottom of the toe.
