My slide and frame don't match on the manufacturers, however -- 1945 Remington Rand frame, Ithaca slide, HS barrel. Hi, my cousin got a Remington Frame (1943) and a Colt " Hard Slide " (1950's). Hard Slide's were Colt commercial slides purchased by the US Govt. The frame has a "BH" mark that was used by the Austrian Army after the War. He was very disappointed; I don't know what he expected. I think it's a great and interesting pistol. regards, Mike Heck, I'd be tickled pink to get markings that would indicate where it had been deployed. _________________________ Rob

Back in '57,my Mother purchased a new commercial grade 1911a1 for my Father for Christmas. She paid $85. dollars for it. Peters hardball ammo was about $6.00 a box of 50 and military surplus steel cased ammo went for about $1.00 a box of 50. They said that the steel cased ammo was hard on extractors but the one on my Father's did not break. The steel cased ammo was corrosive primed so hot water or Hoppes #9 was used for immediate clean up. Wayne _________________________ Top Dog
