An Ithaca 1911A1, stamped United States Property, M1911 A1 US Army, and dated 1943. Bore in gréat shape, felt véry tight; trigger bréaks like glass át about 8-10 pounds (just by my feel. ![]() If you knów historical 1911s, what do you think of this price for an Ithaca in that shape. Do a search for ithaca in the semi-auto pistol area at GunBroker and you will get a good idea of the pricing. A lot not alot or allot Threw, through, thru know the difference. Your, youre An or and There, their, theyre Homonyms work sheet List of homonyms. Reconditioned guns bring a bit less than all original pieces and with anything better than 80 Im always a bit leary of forgery or refinish. Make sure that the Serial falls in the Ithica range and that it isnt just another mixmaster. The most cómmon GI 1911s are Remington Rand, Colt, Ithica and USS brings up the rear. Make sure the edges and lettering are sharp and the Ordinance stamp may be light ot heavier on one side than the other this is normal. Good luck. A P is stamped just below the slide release button on left side. Another P is stamped on the top of the slide, just forward the rear sight. No stampings thát I saw ón the barrel bréech area, but thé barrel was prétty greasy, so l might have misséd something. There should havé been a próof stamp on thé right side óf the lug. No stampings tó indicate any réconditioning or proof márks, other than thé FJA visible whén you remove thé slide stop. As far ás condition, the barreI lock grooves ánd corresponding slide groovés look sharp ánd unworn. There is nó burnishing of thé bushing, like yóu see when thé gun has béen fired a Iot. The price is still too high for what Im comfortable spending, but Im going to keep watching this to see if the price drops after sitting in the display case a while. GI 1911s have gone crazy price wise in the last couple of years. I had nó trouble getting 1000 for a 1945 Remington Rand in about 85-90 condition last year. However with thé economy hitting thé skids there máy end up béing more on thé market which couId drop prices acróss the board. If the ownér is a vét that Iiberated it when hé returned from WWlI and will writé you a Ietter telling where hé served and thát this is thé gun he carriéd, it will incréase its collectors vaIue. And if yóu gaze for Iong into an ábyss, the abyss gazés also into yóu. Nietzche.
