Remington Rand Why so Valuable?

[The Pistoleer]

I notice on the various auction sites that Remington Rand GI 1911s bring premium prices.  This is what I carried in the Mairines in 64.  What makes them worth so much?

It is not so much JUST the RR but many that were made, during WWII, by outsourcesing Colts production to anyone who had the machining to do the work.
There are other companies and some of their stuff is just as sought after.
Good question though.

 ???Beats me too.They sold to NRA members through the DCM for $17. dollars. I had a new Colt commercial model for $60. So i passed on that deal. Horsefeathers.

Old 60's muscle cars are a parallel.
My new Mustang is heads and shoulder aboue a 64/66 in technology and ride but try and tell that too someone wanting a 60's muscle car.

Remington Rand and Singer manufactured pistols had the reputation of being tighter, more dependable, and accurate. 

Another factor is that there were less of them than the Colt manufatured pistols.
