Remington .45 1911 WWII issue Chrome and Ivory
Hello everyone,
Im new to the board and want to see if anyone can help me figure out exactly whats going on with a gun my grandfather left me. I have a WWII issue .45 1911 that is chrome with ivory handle. I cant find another one like it anywhere. My grandfather passed away several years back, so I have no way of finding out how he obtained the gun. I read an old post on a different board that said they didnt make them in chrome, but then corrected themselves and said they did however make several for high ranking officers. My pops would not have spent the money to have it done aftermarket, but there is a chance it could have been done before he came into possession. i dont know how to look up the gun via serial number so maybe someone on here can help.

Try explaining the different meanings for "bullet" to a non-shooter. Around Illinois casings are what you put sausage in, except for news broadcasters.Im from Alabama. We call it a clip. You say magazine, and people will think sports illustrated. We also make up words like "tump". Anybody on here ever "tumped" over in a canoe?
