Mi companion, (a serious national level rifle competitor) brought me a 1911 that was her father's. He was a military pilot & flew
C46s "over the hump' before flying for American Airlines. She brought me his 1911 which had been in his safe for well over 50
years. It is a Remington Rand USGI pistol in what appears to me to be virtually un issued condition. She tells me it appears to
have been issued to her dad and that he never shot it.
Are there things to check or look for to be reasonably certain that the pistol is really as issued and never re-finished?
