The initials GHD are the cartouche used by Brigadier Guy. H. Drewry, the Chief Inspector for the US Army Ordinance Corps for the District covered by Springfield Arsenal in Massachusetts.

His cartouche appears on all 1911A1s manufactured from 1943 to mid-1945 and was placed on the pistols by his deputies as part of the acceptance process by the military establishment.
