WWII Remington Rand 1911 A1 Pistol

[Edward Tinker]

In WW1 that was Remington UMC - not related except very distantly to Remington Rand. Colt was contracted, but remember, they were the inventors original company (John Browning) and then Colts received an original contract and later war contracts.

In WW1 (1911) Colt and Springfield armory, Rem UMC only made about 12,000 of them
In WW11 (1911a1) Colt and then Remington Rand made them, along with others (Ithaca, Singer made a handful).
