Originally produced by Remington-Rand in 1945, this pistol was subsequently selected for upgrade to a National Match competition-grade pistol by Springfield Armory and fitted with a Colt slide. The left of the slide has the standard National Match part number markings while the right has the Colt address. Serrated Patridge blade front sight and adjustable Elliason rear sight, "7267718/NM" bushing, full blued barrel marked ".45 AUTO/NM 7791414" and numbered to the gun on the chamber hood, and an "FJA" inspected frame with "SA", "P", and "NM" stamps. Equipped with a long serrated adjustable trigger, serrated narrow hammer, checkered front strap, arched serrated mainspring housing with lanyard loop, checkered walnut grips, and a full blue magazine marked "S". Includes a box/case with images of classical figures on the lid, four extra magazines partially wrapped in arsenal type waxed paper, and a U.S. military Pistols and Revolvers manual hand marked "A.A. Pettus - Competitor #/#0985" on the cover. A.A. Pettus could not be identified at this time.

Very fine as arsenal upgraded to National Match configuration, retains 98% plus of the parkerized finish with some light edge/handling wear and some light tool marks on the trigger. The grips are also excellent with only the slightest handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The box is very good and the accessories are excellent with some mild wear.
