Ok, now you got me to wondering. Years ago someone told me my 1911a1 was a lend lease. I never paid too much attention to it, but it has something looking like the "C" broad arrow marks" on the frame, right side to the rear, pretty much lined up directly under the rear sight.

My serial number is 16333**.

Anyone have a picture of the "C" broad arrow mark or know the serial number range for lend lease, either to Canada or England.
