I'm looking to have a Remmington Rand restored and wondering whom to send it to for repair and restoration?

Don't know where to send for resto, but it looks like only your upper half may be Remington Rand. Your frame is an early Colt commercial (pre-1930), and is a M1911, NOT M1911A1. Pretty cool gun you have there. By the way, if you want to know how he knows the frame is a 1911 vs the A1... -Flat Mainspring Housing -Longer Trigger Colt Commercial by the C****** serial number. A G.I. would just say "No. ******" without a letter, traditionally... though if I remember correctly, the Canadian contract Colts had a C prefix to their serials? |

It’s identifiable as a 1911 frame because it lacks the relief cut behind the trigger. |
