When these went through arsenal rebuild and refinish, there was usually some arsenal mark stamped on them. Arsenals did not have any reason to keep original parts together, so it is not unusual to find mismatched slides and frames. R-R manufactured more M1911A1s than any other manufacturer, so they are the most commonly found. Aside from the 500 made by Singer, the most uncommon is Union Switch and Signal. I had one of those at one time. P.S. - the GI ammo box is from after WWII.
First thing you always check on a USGI is the serial number
and the inspectors mark.
This one is 1969xxx.....within the RR range.
The inspectors mark is also correct.
I am hip the ammo is not WWII vintage.
No clue as to who did the re-park.
There are no arsenal rework stamps.
