Remington Rand Serial # L H 1320 - The Firearms Forum

chuck29456 · 07-01-2010, 10:25 AM

My 1911 A1 has the "REMINGTON RAND INC. on the left side of the slide.
SYRACUSE, NY U.S.A."

The serial # "L H 1320" is on the right side of the frame above the trigger assy.

The only other marking is the letter "P" on the top of the slide 1/2 " foreward of the rear sight.

The pistol has a parkerized finish and the serial number stamp looks original.

The trigger, hammer and slide stop are checkered and the safety is grooved.

Could this be a ERRS experimental model, or a demonstration model, or is the frame of another manufacturer? I have not been able to determine this in anything I've read.

No other marks on the frame?? (like "US Property") If not I would assume an after-market frame of some sort and thereby a parts gun.

Looks like Larry Haggerty (or Leon Hardy, or Lionel Hochsteder) of 1320 Main Street (or whose SSN is 123-45-1320) built a gun from an unnumbered frame and put a serial number on it.

Remington's "ERRS" guns were marked (ready for this?) "ERRS."
