    REMRAND with A stamped

    I've just found on the Net a REMRAND for sale with that "A" stamped close to the S/N.
    Contrary to what the seller states I don't think it has anything to do with the serial number, I suppose it could be the stamp of an assembler ? Strang place to put a stamp though. [​IMG]
    The most amusing thing is that commenting this firearm on the gunstore site they write that perhaps the serial number was duplicated by mistake, or as an alternative they mention Mr Clawson: the gun was supposed to go to some "special forces"... [​IMG] honestly I don't recall ever having read anything about that written by Mr Clawson...

    I'm interested about what other people more experienced than me would think of it.

    I always tell my collector mates to put originality at the top of their priority list, originality isn't something that can be restored. I've never seen a 1911 I didn't like.

    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.

    Typically an A stamped on US military arms like that would indicate it was in an inventory somewhere with another weapon with the same serial number.

    With the same serial number? How could it be possible since this pistol does not fall into any known SN overlap ranges?

    Same serial number as another weapon in inventory not necessarily another 1911a1.
