IN 99%+++ MINT CRISP NEW ORIGINAL CONDITION, WE HAVE AN UNBEATABLE EXAMPLE OF A LATE 1944 WAR PRODUCTION ITHACA 1911A1 PISTOL. THIS PISTOL IS 100% CORRECT AS IT LEFT THE FACTORY AS PER CLAWSON. THIS PISTOL WAS ONE OF 4890 SHIPPED TO THE RARITAN ORDNANCE DEPOT IN NIXON NEW JERSEY ON JAN 18, 1945 AND WAS THE LAST RECORDED SERIAL NUMBER GUN IN THE SHIPMENT! THIS IS A LATER VARIATION PISTOL WITH THE HARDENED SLIDE AND ELIMINATION OF THE RECOIL PLATE. THIS IS A NICE PISTOL THAT HAS SEEN NO USE AT ALL AND WAS WELL CARED FOR. THERE HAS BEEN MUCH INTEREST OF LATE IN THE ITHACA MADE GUNS. PEOPLE HAVE BECOME AWARE THAT THEY DID NOT MAKE NEARLY AS MANY AS COLT OR REM RAND DID. WHILE NOT NEARLY AS SCARCE AS A UNION SWITCH THEY ARE NOT PARTICULARLY COMMON. THIS IS A NEW WW2 VINTAGE ITHACA WITH A VERY DESIRABLE SERIAL NUMBER!
