    Late WW2 Remington 1911A1

    My Father bought this sometime around 1960 or 61, paid $50.00 for it. I shot it but not much kind of just to try it out. Appears all original but I really do not collect these - I did shot Expert with the M1911A! in the service

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction).

    Got one just like it, about 1,200 later SN#. Part of an NRA offer in the 60's. $50 sounds cheap but today's money, about $500. Still a steal for an unfired M1911A1. My dad put target sights on it and the front sight was modified. I paid $250 for another unmolested slide two years ago. Sometimes you can find them with the original box. Is the magazine marked with a "G"? If so it was General Shaver co, part of Remington Rand. The RR's were the largest production of WW2 1911's. Find a Singer and the dollars are really going to go up. They are nice shooters. If I recall, there were three different type faces used on the slide. Any WW2 M1911A1 is highly desirable. The CMPicon has a drawing on them for $1,000- 1,250, and none are as nice as that one.
