I have a Remington Rand M 1911 A1 U. S. ARMY 45 acp. It is parkerized and in beautiful shape FJA stamped and all original. serial # 2138XXX From early 1945 I think. What's this baby worth? ? ?

Thanks Denny

How bout some pics? It would appear that it is indeed a 1945 RR.

Very nice! In the Blue Book 31st. edition they go from
100% $2500
95% $1900
80%$1200
70% $$1000 and so on. Someone will appear soon and tell you what condition it is in and also ask you about the idiot scratch!

Seen plenty of them with the ''oops how do you put this together again?'' scratch on em.

In my area of Eastern PA, I've seen worse condition examples selling in excess of 2 grand. This one sure looks to be in VG+ to low EXCELLENT condition - without a hands on. I'd say that the Blue Book values are pretty close to on the mark. At this time, with the "buyer caution" and poor economy in place, these old milsurp pieces seem to be holding their value very well. Seems that the "real" collectors are out there looking for bargains - but are willing to open their wallets for honest pieces. Too bad about the "idiot scratch" but that doesn't detract too much from the overall.

I have one of those oops on my custom gun. I was putting the slide stop back in and slipped. Got a nice scratch.
