First-aid packet carlisle model in sealed tin, sears m1916 holster and a single 7-round risdon magazine. our assessment: the 1911 and 1911-a1 pistols served the military of the united states from 1911 to 1985, through two world wars and the korean and vietnam wars. They gained a reputation as a reliable handgun with plenty of stopping power, and are held in high regard by those who have used them. As was the case at the outset of the 1st world war, demands of the us military would outstrip the production capacity of colt when the united states entered world war 2. In this case, contracting pistol production out to other companies had been planned for and simplified due to educational orders and a production study, notably conducted by the singer sewing machine company, which developed comprehensive plans and instructions for a company which had never made a 1911a1 to order materials, machinery and set up manufacturing for the pistol. remington rand was the star example of this project's success, and by the end of the war would go on to produce just about as many as all of the other makers combined, at the lowest price and highest quality. This example was made in 1943 and is a good example of a remington rand 1911-a1. The pistol is in very good condition, retaining about 80% of its springfield armory refurbished parkerized finish, a good bore and strong mechanics. This would make a nice addition for a collector who wants to add a remington rand to a 1911 or wwii small arms collection and should still prove to be a good shooter. It will also display well with the included belt and holster rig. Please see our photos and good luck!
