After over a year of waiting, I finally received my pistol. I opted for Field grade over rack. She appears to be matching frame/slide with a HS barrel. Heavy finish wear but no arsenal rebuild marks. I have to say I'm thrilled to have a piece of history.

Very nice. Congrats!

That is awesome! Kinda wishing I'd put in for one of those back when they had the open lottery. I had a 1943 RR issued by my department through the DRMO for a while, but recently had to give it back. I'm going to miss that gun.

Very nice. Congrats.
I was going to get one but opted not to.
Garand came from there and I was more than happy with it and still am.

Congrats. That looks exactly like the ones we had in our arms room when I was with the 101st.

Nice. Reminds me of the first 1911 I ever shot, a Remington National Match that belonged to a friend of mine. Liked it so much that I bought a Colt NM shortly after.

Thank you guys, I literally look at it daily right now. Just such a cool piece. Here are some better pictures. I can't wait to shoot it!

SIG4EVA - I'd say you hit the jackpot. Given my druthers, I'd select a well worn example over an arsenal refurb any day. Congratulations!

I believe 45 was the last year the government purchased any new ones.

Is that something that’s accessible online? I too have a Remington Rand and would be very interested in the same information.

You're very welcome! Great looking pistol btw.

Congratulations on a nice 1911 there!

Having roots in the Syracuse area, I've often wanted a vintage Remington Rand. Never found one where the condition and price worked. Opted out of where you got yours as there was no guarantee I'd get a non-arsenal refurbished matching slide and frame RR. You scored "bigly." Congrats!

Glad to see my FOIA draft making it onto other forums.

Here's mine from CMP, 12/44 matching RR, almost all correct parts-wise. It served with the NC ARNG:

I was trying to come up with some 'typewriter' comment...

Well, it seems to be a lot more functional and even up to date for use than the typewriters they made for years.....

I have a 1913 that saw two wars. It got rearsenaled in 1942 where they changed the grips and the grip spring housing for no apparent reason.

I'd LOVE to find a long grip safety as this short one bites the piss out of me.
