New to collection a 1911

Well probably your 1911 has rested properly greased in a safe for a very long time, in fact from the photos are not really visible holster wear or other big scratches.
Remington Rand was the biggest producer of 1911A1 and basically made three series of 1911, first in 1942-43 s/n 916405/955000 second one in 1943 s/n 955000 / 980000 and the last one in 1943-45 s/n 980000 / 2465139
In 1944 Remington Rand made s/n from 1743847 to 1816641

1911 pistols are still in my heart since I used to collect them until a few years ago.

Congratulations again.
