I bring you:
Plain and Simple. Not mine but just thought it would make a great Post # 1911.

From Wikipedia: This gun is within the last 50,000 of the 900,000 produced by Remington Rand. This one was re-built by Anniston Army Depot, Anniston, Alabama, October 1972, carrying the ANAD 1072 stamp. This type of weapon was issued to U.S. Army officers and enlisted personnel in armor units (tankers) through the 1980's.
Confiscated early 2004 in or around Al-Qurna, Iraq. Destroyed shortly after. 
Congratulations on the post count, though.

Congratulations on the post count, though. I never saw the part about it being confiscaed in Iraq. I just read the part about it being produced in 1945 and refurbished at Anniston Army Depot in 1972. It's a shame where it ended up and that it was destroyed. |
