During the course of research for the Bill G. H&R Book, I have recently received extremely reliable information (from a former high ranking exec.) that H&R Arms Co. produced 50 1911-A1s under contract for the US Gov't.
Time frame for production may have been during or just before WW2. This source has talked to another person who claims to have seen one in person while in military service.
If anyone has any info, has seen one, knows where one is or owns one of these pistols, I would like to hear from you to further the research.
Thanks!
