Towards the end of my career I carried my (unofficial) Remington Rand or Ithaca when we went to the field. When we switched to the Beretta 9mm's I still asked for and carried, a GI issue.

You can also look at the locking lugs for signs of wear then look on the mating surfaces of the slide for the same signs of matching wear patterns. The additional non-matching wear patterns would be showing the wear pattern of a previous barrel in the pistol that has since been replaced. I suspect the wear patterns will not match exactly, or you may see some matching patterns and some additional wear patterns that don't mate up. Then, compare the precise wear patterns found there to those found in the mating areas on the recoil plate of the slide to see if they match exactly. on the back of the hood and the back edge of the chamber area. I'd suggest looking very closely at the back end of the barrel. If it does have the P, that would indicate the barrel was proofed for military use, but certainly not necessarily in that pistol. And I don't recall any of those being the Colt S marked barrels.ĭoes your barrel have the P proof on the left lug? If not, is strictly a commercial barrel in the first place, and would not be considered correct in any of the military pistols.

I think the only Remington Rands I know of with Colt barrels that are believed to be original are the very early guns.
