ithaca 1911a1
I just bought an early Ithaca 1911A1 that has a Remington Rand slide on it. I thought it was a mismatched set so I did a little research and found out that Ithaca didnt have all the tooling when they first started producing the 1911s and had bought some parts from Colt and Remington Rand including the slides and these parts were used on the early Ithacas . What I would like to know is how the mismatched p[arts guns compare in price to the later ones that matched ? The finish is at least 90% on the pistol and is original with exception of the grips which are brown plastic with the Colt Rampart about the size of a nickle on them .I did not get a mag or a box with the pistol .

Ive located a Ithaca 1911A1 on GB. However, the only Ithaca markings are on the slide itself. The frame has no markings at all except for a small "P" near the magazine release. The serial number does show to be in the Ithaca range however (1943).
What are your thoughts about this. This is the second one that I've seen in about a month now.
Thanks,

Did you leave off an X?
Some Flannery barrels were used by Remington Rand and Ithaca in 1944 and 1945.0 -
hawk Carse is correct should be 7 digits in your serial number
Flannery started making barrels Nov 1943 and Ithaca had trouble meeting demand for completed pistols and used many parts from other makers of parts.yesmost likely correct original barrel0 -
Yes i did leave out a X
its serial number 1277XXX
does that fall in the range of the F marked barrels0 -

Your serial number is toward the end of 1943 production (1,279,673).
Flannery type 19 barrels Were "Limited use by Remington and Ithaca, mid-1943 to end of production." Ref. U.S. Pistols & Revolvers 1909 - 1945, by J.C. Harrison.0
