Manufactured in 1945, this pistol bears a number of British markings, including stamps from the Proof House at Birmingham, "NOT ENGLISH MAKE" legends on the slide and frame, and "RELEASED/BRITISH GOVT.1952" on the slide. The combination of the "Not English" stamp and the "1952" stamp is believed to be particular to British-shipped Lend-Lease 1911A1s. Blade front and flat top rear sights, with the two-line Ithaca address on the slide and a "FJA" inspected frame. "Crown/BV" proofs are present on the barrel, slide and frame, "crown/NP" on the chamber, a crossed scepter "(illeg) 3 B" stamp on the frame and the aforementioned markings. Fitted with a checkered stamped trigger, thin serrated hammer, slide catch, thumb safety and mainspring housing, reinforced Keyes Fiber grips, unmarked full blue magazine and a High Standard "HS" barrel.
