SOLD - Rare Remington UMC 1911

Description

11/18/21 - This is a rare Remington UMC 1911 in all-original configuration.  Of the three manufacturers of U.S. Military 1911 pistols, the Remington-UMC is the least common with only ~21,000 produced.  This pistol is a second-year Remington UMC production (1919), with proper E.E.C. inspectors marking on the left side of the frame.  Major Edmond E. Chapman was responsible for the entire Rem-UMC production.  Below his mark is an Eagle/28 proof.  The slide is marked with the 'E' above the firing pin stop.  Barrel chamber is marked with a single "P", which is correct for Remington-UMC production. This particular gun has about 85% of the blue remaining, with wear on the front edges of the frame, trigger guard, front strap and mainspring housing. The bore is terrific with minimal signs of use. Very nice grips with crisp checkering and no cracks or chips. Two-tone magazine.
