I just signed up on this site, hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. Short background for the reason of this search is that I was partly raised by my grandfather, I looked up to him and still to this day do things certain ways because of him. He retired from the Navy, served in the end of the Korean war and all of Veitnam. I know that at some point he was a MP, and a CPO at some point. I also know that he was on the U.S.iconS. Bexar.
With that being said, let me get to what I am looking for.
I am trying to learn what he might have carried for a sidearm, or what firearm he might have been issued. I know I can't obtain exactly what he carried, but would like to know what he might have, or if there is possibly a replica made by a gun company. I have seen where it might have been an Ithaca or Rem-Ran 1911-A1, but I am not 100% sure. My goal is to purchase either a replica or something identical to what he was issued along with other gear he might have had. I have his uniform, cap, gloves, batton, and several medals that were left to me. Unfortunently nobody in my family knows what happened to his gun.
Can anybody point me in the right direction? Thank you for the help in advance.
