A friend invited me to a private range last week and I took this .45 along. After range time, my friend mentioned the low serial number to several regulars there, whose interest immediately perked up and they wanted to see the firearm. Forty five minutes later, after several of them had looked it over, partially disassembled and reassembled it, and pulled out some 1911 reference books, there was still quite a bit of interest in just what it was, but nobody could say for sure (I was asked several times if I wanted to sell it). I was even more puzzled about its pedigree so I spent an evening looking and searching the internet, and this is what I believe I have.
The frame is from a Remington UMC pistol made in 1918 – it has the proper serial number, range inspectors stamp, and a very difficult to see eagle’s head stamp above the magazine release. Comparing it to various pictures of an intact Remington UMC pistol, it is apparent not much else is original. The mainspring housing is arched, not the original flat, the grips have been replaced, the trigger is a short one, and the slide is from a Remington Rand firearm. It has been Parkerized and has Bakelite grips, all characteristics of an arsenal rebuild, commonly done during WW II. One unresolved question is why can’t I find the arsenal rebuild marks? I have examined it closely, several times, in a bright light, with a magnifying glass, and I just don’t see any.
The slide is from a Remington Rand, a type 3 (serial number 980000 to end of production) and interestingly is stamped MD1 (similar to the previous poster) near the rear sight (apparently Remington Rand is not related to the Remington UMC company). Another 1911forum posting discusses it, (https://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=286912), during WW II the military had a program to develop hardened slides, and asked each company to submit 100 hardened slides for testing. They were all supposedly stamped MD1.
According to the folks at the range, the pistol is tight, has not seen a lot of firing, and needs oiling. It will be cleaned and oiled within the next few days, shot infrequently with light loads in the future, and passed on to a descendent someday.
Again, thanks to everyone who contributed ideas and information.

Remington Rand 1911a1 Serial Number Lookup
My friend went to the pawn shop a couple of days ago and bought a Remington Rand 1911a1 for $480. This included the gun and holster. He checked it out and it was in MINT CHERRY condition..barrel was dirty but great nonetheless. It looks a few years old. He took it to an antique gun place and the owner said it was a 1944 model according to serial # and attempted to give him $800 for it.
Now I know this is an old gun but do you think my friend got a good deal and how much do you think the gun is valued at.
