Howdy Fellas!

Been some time. Wanted some thoughts on something I came home with. My Dad was an avid gun collector and had passed recently. My Mom has everything now and I asked her about these that my Dad had in a case on the wall of our den when I was young. Always admired them and thought they were my dads Korea 1911's.

Turns out these were purchased in 1962 from the NRA for $17.50 ea. Original boxes, original paperwork, U.S. Army.

My Mom gave them to me.

(BTW I still haven't fired that Stainless 744. *chuckle*)

I believe that these are pretty special guns. I am not a 1911 historical expert, but when you look over the hardcore 1911 collector sites, Remington Rand pops up pretty frequently.

HERE is some Remington Rand 1911 historical info

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

if you find one...what's your plan?

Well, it turns out that these are pretty special. I posted them on a 1911 forum and I'm being quoted 3k-4k each.
