The maker's markings are only on the slide, so a serial number check is needed to be sure the frame is in the assigned range for R-R, and in the right range for the slide. Paul Krokovic Collection.

My long time friend found this gun in his father's possessions after he passed and gave it to me as a divorce present. Dowload lagu india karisma kapor dan anil kapor. I was thrilled! As you can imagine it cheered me up instantly Just one minor problem. The gun does not have any serial numbers on it anywhere. I have looked it over very carefully and they have not been removed it was just never stamped with any. It has the proof marks on the slide, frame and barrel and they appear to be the same size. It also has the FJA inspectors stamp on it. To my untrained eye, it appears to be stamped with a partial Ordnance department inspectors stamp(2nd to last pic). I understand from some other posts that I read that there are some 'lunchbox' guns out there. If this is one of those why would it not have a 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. What do I have here? I would be grateful for any information and comments that you guys are willing to give. Thanks everyone for taking a look. Hi, I have a Remington M1911A1 gun produced in 1943 based on serial number info. This gun was purchased from the Tokyo U.S. Army depot in 1946. I have the original sales paper work from the depot showing the sale of the gun as used with matching serial number. The gun has been in storage since that time and was never used. It has been packed with a little grease coating on it since that time. I also have the original holster that came with the gun and is also shown on sales ticket. The gun does not have the normal blue style finish but appears to be polished or nickel-plated. The gun appears to have minimal wear, all markings are easy to read and the gun looks in good shape other than removing the grease to make a closer inspection. The retired Army Colonel that purchased the gun in 1946 is now in his 90's and is asking me to get information and value of gun for possible sale. My questions are were do I go to find the best information on this type of gun and there values? Thanks for your help, John S. Click to expand.Hmmmmm.that's very strange. The normal finish on a M1911A1 would be parkerized and be a greyish or greenish dull finish. Are you sure your friend didn't have it nickle plated after he bought it? Remington Rand made 1,086,624 A1's from 1943 to 1945. All were parkerized. Blue Book value (in original condition) is: 98% - $1,300 95% - $1,000 90% - $800 80% - $700 70% - $600 Unfortunately, the polished or nickle finish pretty much destroys the collector value of this firearm and puts it into the 'shooter' range value of about $500 (depending on condition). Some good websites for learning about the M1911A1 pistol are. Hi, Thanks for the info and the welcome.
