New to collection a 1911

My barrel is a Flannery. These were made in 44 and mostly used as replacement barrels but I have read an unknown number were used as original equipment in Remington Rand's. My pistol also being a 1944 it might be one of those. The barrel is blued.

It's not that uncommon to see a Flannery barrel in a 1944 RR or Ithaca although High Standard is more common.

Of the 313,000 or so barrels Flannery made from late 1943 to 1945, over 227,000 were delivered in 1944 and High Standard was working at full capacity.

BTW, nice gun. Congratulations.

Nice, Tony! 1911s used to be my first love until I got into Lugers. One advantage to the 1911 is that it is so easy to change a barrel if needed or desired compared to the Luger.
