As the title states I'm looking for a Colt 1911a1 lend lease barrel for a 1943 serial number 929xxx (Remington Rand duplicate number). From the stamps on the pistol the barrel should have the London Proof stamp, not the BNP stamp.
Thanks,

Is this the one you are looking for?
I have been hunting the same barrel for years with no luck. I would pay stupid money for one if I could find it.
I can't believe there are two pistols out there without this barrel...maybe they were never marked.

Actually yes that is the barrel I'm looking for. The one I have is like that but there isn't a lick of finish left on it. I was hoping to improve on the one I had. There has to be a 1911a1 lend lease pistol out there that has this barrel but is needing an "F" barrel or something. I can tell this is going to be a challenge.
