Few American military sidearms carry the instant recognition of the M1911A1, and this example tells a story that serious martial arms collectors appreciate. Built by Ithaca Gun Company during the height of World War II, serial number 1105124 falls within documented 1943 Ithaca production. The pistol remains proudly U.S. Property marked and retains the unmistakable profile that accompanied American servicemen through the largest conflict in modern history.

John Browning's combat-proven design needs little introduction. Chambered in .45 ACP and operating through the legendary short-recoil system, the M1911A1 earned its reputation in the hands of soldiers, airmen, sailors, and Marines across multiple generations of service. The short trigger, arched mainspring housing, fixed military sights, and rugged all-steel construction represent the classic wartime configuration that made the platform an American icon.

What elevates this pistol beyond a standard WWII sidearm is its documented Springfield Armory rebuild history. The visible SA marking confirms the pistol remained in government inventory long enough to pass through one of the U.S. military's major refurbishment programs. Rather than being retired after wartime service, it was inspected, rebuilt, refinished, and returned to duty—exactly the type of lifecycle experienced by countless service pistols that continued protecting American interests well after 1945.

The pistol is fitted with an Ithaca-marked slide consistent with its military rebuild configuration and retains strong, legible government markings throughout. The brown checkered grip panels display a white rack number "16," an inventory marking added during its service life rather than factory manufacture. The included magazine is a later U.S. military replacement magazine marked ASSY 5508694 / MFR. 30745, further reinforcing the pistol's long-term military support history.

This is the kind of M1911A1 that speaks to collectors who value authentic military service over untouched showroom condition. A documented WWII Ithaca, verified Springfield Armory rebuild, honest arsenal finish, and genuine government markings combine to create a sidearm with real history in its steel. It is not simply a World War II pistol—it is a U.S. military survivor that continued serving long after the war was won, and that is exactly what makes it special.
