#REMINGTON RAND 1911A1 SERIAL NUMBERS NO 1567433 SERIAL NUMBER#
Should I shoot this gun, or should I put it up? If I do shoot it, should I worry about being pulled over with it it in the car and it not having a serial number? I saw a couple of posts stating that I could go to the ATF and get a serial number stamped on it, but if I do that wouldn't that lower the value? assuming it's worth anything. If this is one of those why would it not have a serial number? I understand from some other posts that I read that there are some "lunchbox" guns out there. To my untrained eye, it appears to be stamped with a partial Ordnance department inspectors stamp(2nd to last pic). It also has the FJA inspectors stamp on it. It has the proof marks on the slide, frame and barrel and they appear to be the same size. I have looked it over very carefully and they have not been removed it was just never stamped with any.
The gun does not have any serial numbers on it anywhere. I was thrilled! As you can imagine it cheered me up instantly Just one minor problem.

Industry Announcements and Press Releases Rem-Rand Serial Numbers Data from Remington Rand Corporation Records of Advertising and Sales Promotion archived at Hagley Museum and Library.My 1918 Remington-UMC was shipped by the DCM from Rock Island Arsenal with a Colt replacement slide, for example. Pistols were stripped, inspected, and reassembled without regard to "matching parts."ĭuring WWII, WWI pistols went through a similar process. After WWII there were mass inspection and rebuild programs both here and Europe. This sort of mix 'n match is very common with US military 1911s. You have a Remington Rand slide on a Colt frame. I know the father did not change anything. but the serial number on the frame above the trigger says No277924, which judging by the charts ive found suggests.
The slide says Remington Rand Inc, Syracuse NY USA. We are having a bit of trouble figuring it out, the numbers dont seem to work.
The serial numbers do not match any registary for a Remington Rand. My father recently obtained his fathers 1911, which was his WWII sidearm. It was issued to his father that never shot it after he got out of the military. I have a Remington Rand I purchased from a friend.
