If it's a real one, you've got some big $$$$$$ sitting there (only 500 made, fakes do exist). Pics?

I am deployed right now. My grandfather gave it to my father when he retired from the service. I can see if he can send me pics or I can post some when I return home.

Wouldn't surprise me. During war-time, all resources were turned to producing for the war. This is why there are IBM, Postal Meter, GM-Saginaw and my favorite, Rock-Ola M1 Carbines! I'd love to see the Singer 1911.

There is a book and web site devoted to the other 1911 guns. Check with them t get a serial number range and get flaydermans guide to used firearms. I would recomend a professional appraisal from someone not interested in buying it. Call the state nra nad get a list of authorized firearms appraisers in your area.

I've read about them. I think I have a picture of one in my Sweeney book on 1911's.
Did you buy it? Sounds like if you did you've got a rare gem.
