WWII Remington Rand 1911 A1 Pistol

Several years ago, On one of my trips home from Iraq, I went down to a buddies house the next state over. He was looking for a buyer for an ORIGINAL Colt 1911 that was built in 1913. I offered him $500 sight unseen and he accepted. With finding the correct slide release, 2 original 2 tone mags, (1) with a lanyard loop, the correct 15 double diamond grips and a mag full of 1917 .45 ACP ammo, I now have a $2500 firearm.

In the early 1960s me and all my shooting friends were getting three guns Thru the DCM. The 1911 pistol, the M1 Carbine and the 03A3 Springfield. My 1911 was a WWI Colt and it was in excellent condition. It shot very well too. My carbine was made by GM and the A3 was by Remington. Sadly I didn't hang on to any of them.
