ive NEVER seen an RR with that logo but im by no means an expert on these...
Bogus. A fantasy piece that someone made, and then it got copied. The logo is a legit Remington Rand logo, but never used on a Remington Rand 1911A1.
That logo has been discussed here on the forum in the past. A search might find the thread.

That's what I thought.
Thanks for the confirmation
That thing is like a turd that won't flush it just keeps coming back. Seems like there was a big debate on that one or one like it years ago. I'm just waiting for someone to show up with a sewing machine etched on the slide swearing it's a Singer.

I am disappointed in Jackson Arms! thought more of them.
[I] sent the gentleman an email explaining why it wasn't an original marking on the RR. He said I was wrong and that it was very rare and it was original. OK........
Typical response from a seller.
This is probably the most damning evidence against the RR Globe logo as found on Remington Typewriters. It describes a patent statement on the logo which would not have been on a 1911A1 pistol. Of course all this detail is lost in the pantograph on the slide.
"The PD has the "RR/globe" logo and the words "Remington Rand" on a
shield with the "Made in USA" and patent statement (but no numbers. All
three Model One Pnnnnn machines have exactly the same, as does a
"Remington" "Quiet 1"
