City of Atlantis: Thanks man I am tickled with it….shoots perfectly.
Janedoedad: Your 1911 was built in 1943. I asked about initial shipping, should have an answer in a day or three.

An acquaintance seems to have scored a Unicorn. Field grade RR Slide and frame with NO horrible arsenal rebuilt stamps.

Thanks!

You're welcome. I can tell you it left the factory in December 1943. Not entirely sure where it went but looks like it could have been a Navy gun, maybe. These are the close hits:

1345707 USN Norfolk 04/27/44
1346984 Lackland AFB 09/09/47
1347293 Naval Operation Base Norfolk 05/24/44
1347294 Naval Operation Base Norfolk 05/24/44

The Lackland hit is after the war so I feel like this RR shipment might have gone to Norfolk originally. Just a guess.
