IN 98% MINT CRISP ORIGINAL CONDITION, WE HAVE A TOP EXAMPLE OF AN EARLY 1944 WARTIME PRODUCTION ITHACA 1911A1 PISTOL THAT DID NOT GET SHIPPED OUT UNTIL THE END OF JAN, 1945. THIS PISTOL IS 100% CORRECT AS IT LEFT THE FACTORY AS PER CLAWSON. THIS PISTOL WAS ONE OF 5000 SHIPPED TO THE ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL IN ILLINOIS ON JAN 31, 1945. THIS IS A NICE PISTOL THAT HAS VERY LITTLE USE AT ALL AND WAS WELL CARED FOR. THERE HAS BEEN MUCH INTEREST OF LATE IN THE ITHACA MADE 1911A1 PISTOLS. COLLECTORS HAVE BECOME AWARE THAT THEY DID NOT MAKE NEARLY AS MANY AS REM RAND DID. WHILE NOT NEARLY AS SCARCE AS A UNION SWITCH THEY ARE NOT PARTICULARLY COMMON. THIS IS A TOP CONDITION 100% ORIGINAL WW2 VINTAGE ITHACA THAT WAS PROBABLY HEADED FOR THE FIGHTING IN THE PACIFIC, VERY LIKELY TO ARM B-29 FLIGHT CREWS BOMBING JAPAN.
