PS. More than great it looks brand new. Amazing for a 1943 pistol.

My 1911A1. Mostly Ithaca but with a Remington frame, was rebuilt in Augusta Arsenal in the 50s and looks like it went through WWII, Korea and Vietnam before it found it's way into my hands.
In fact I'm almost sure it's unissued.

Arsenal rebuilds are sought after by many collectors now, they represent a page of the US history.

Most collectors would frown at its battered look.

I'm still waiting for someone to make a 1911 with a Mauser banner logo on it...

I don't know... For some reason, it's very difficult to find any info on this gun...

Seriously, I don't know if mrerick's picture also is a photoshop, but wasn't there a company that stamped slides with the Mauser banner and sold them as German made?

I actually saw a Remington in my LGS today on consignment for $1800 in pristine condition. Probably one of the NRA refurb pistols available from the DCM...

Alas, not a Mauser.

GIMP (the open version of PhotoShop) is your friend and confound-er...

Gerben said he wanted one...

Isn't that the Mauser banner just above the slide release lever in the M1911m1?

I must be having a Sudafed hallucination...I though commercial Mauser Lugers had a waving banner on the toggle...

In the early 1990s Mauser sold FEG made copies of the FN hipower and the Smith & Wesson DA pistols.

I had one of those. A very gritty trigger and the fit and finish was borderline acceptable.

Still, it was fun to own a Mauser HP!
