I think someone may have been playing Mix & Match with parts when they put together my 'Ithaca Gun Co' M1911A1. (I bought it several decades ago but recently became curious about its heritage.)
The slide indicates 'Ithaca Gun Co' but the serial number is 84XXXX, which seems to be a Colt number. The frame also does not have the FJA inspection stamp that ought to appear on Ithaca frames. The barrel has a different serial number.
So it appears that someone may have just cobbled together a weapon from assorted parts that were lying around. It's nickel plated and shoots well.
Based on the serial number, I'm guessing it's a Frankengun. Can anyone confirm?
