Ithaca M1911A1 Help
I have a chance to purchase this 1911, but I'm not very familiar with older weapons. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
-Jim

The seller has asked that I make an offer, It's been sitting in his basement for years and neither of us know its value,

It looks like this Ithaca was built in early 1944.

The inside looks good, I striped it in order to clean.
I'm going to the range later today.

I would love to have that. I didn't know Ithaca made a 1911. Actually I didn't know they made any pistols. My dad and I have had plenty of Ithaca rifles and shotguns. We lived down the road from Ithaca.

nice looking. i would buy it simply because it's an Ithaca. the production numbers during WWII were equal to Colt. Remington-Rand had the highest production during the war and Union Switch & Signal and then Singer with the lowest production.
it does look to be in very good shape looking at the pictures. personally i would take a chance on it if it was me. i'd buy it even if it didn't work!
