SOLD - Rare Remington UMC Model 1911 - Augusta Arsenal Rework

Description

9/11/25 - This is a rare Remington UMC 1911. Of the three manufacturers of accepted U.S. Military 1911 pistols, the Remington-UMC is the least common with only ~21,000 produced. This pistol was manufactured in 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. 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. There is an "AA" marking on the frame, indicating it was reworked at the Augusta Arsenal, likely for re-issue during WW2. At the arsenal, the gun had a parkerized finish applied. There is just minor high edge wear, muzzle wear, some very minor thinning on the grip straps, and a couple of spots of discoloration on the slide. Fitted with nice period-correct wood grips and comes with a parkerized magazine. The bore has great rifling with minor frosting throughout.
