[QUOTE="Pnw Farmer, post: 1838743, member: 42548"] I believe there were only 300 made. Had a neighbor up the road bring down a 1911 to do a bit of research on and possibly buy. It was thrown together from several makes but did have a Union Switch and Signal upper on it, Remington Rand lower and I couldn't get a make on the hammer, didn't match up to any of the originals with the checkering it had. He thought it should be worth what a complete US&S pistol was worth and I told him that just isn't the case so we weren't able to make a deal on it. I ended up buying an RIA in 10mm, usually they feel too big in my hands but this one has the slim G10 grips, it's like it's glued to your hand. I would like to get an original 1911 from WW2, not for shooting though, just to have a small piece of history in my safe. [/QUOTE]
