From my research not all lend leases had marked barrels like yours. The barrel that was on the gun was serial numbered and said Colt on it. Some Flannery barrels were used in new production pistols, but not to the extent that you could say that an Ithaca would always be correct with a Flannery barrel. Like Springfield Armory, Flannery Bolt supplied primarily replacement barrels. High Standard's contract called for them to supply barrels to Remington Rand, Ithaca, and US&S, and HS was the primary supplier. The frame, slide, and barrel were all proofed. Don't know what barrel was in the pistol, but the unmarked barrel is not correct. The barrel which originally came in the pistol would have the British proofs on the chamber. Thanks for your valued input, it is much appreciated, Drew. So whats the verdict from the experts on this web page. This pistol has the British marks and the serial number is 125581X. I have seen pistols with serial numbers as low as 123XXXX that date to 1944. The reason they think its a 43 because some web site says so. I was told that it was a 1943 but my better judgement tells me its an early 44. I would post pics but I live on the left coast and I am in my waiting period.
