It says Ithaca on the slide, where does the Remington Rand markings come into play?I have one. Got it when they first released them. It's a mix of old and newer parts (re-arsenaled at some point). Mine looks to have a new barrel, but is an old original Remington Rand slide, don't recall the markings on the frame. Haven't fired it yet.
If you are looking for a basic 1911 shooter for the range, you can definitely find a decent one for about half the cost of the CMP 1911s. If you are willing to spend the cost of the CMP 1911s, you can get a newer or new 1911 with some upgrades for that price.
But if having a piece of history is important in your 1911, than the CMP gun may be a decent option for you.

There's definitely cheaper historical guns. Heck, my 1862 Enfield was about the same price.It's partially the history aspect that is really calling to me. Thank you for the information.
Bad memory. I haven't had it out in a while. Wrote the post, and then remembered I had a couple pictures of it. I will correct my initial post.It says Ithaca on the slide, where does the Remington Rand markings come into play?
