I like them both but I would lean towards the Remington Rand, assuming the internals are all correct. Still fairly easy to find parts for if you are using it as a shooter.

Just more originial ? I did notice that Remington Rand slider is a different shade of color than the lower
It does not look like it was messed with and no engraved initials for my liking. A slight different shade between slide and frame is normal. There will also be a different shade on the slide itself due to the heat treated areas taking the parkerizing at a different rate. The slide looks like an original finish from the pics. The barrel would be my concern. Should have a High Standard barrel and could also be a Flannery barrel depending how late in 44 it was produced. The bore and rifling should also be good. You can check the other internals when you take it apart if you purchase.by FNG

Even with a remington umc lower?
I believe that gram is a reworked wwi colt frame I don't think Remington rand had us property marks there . I'm trying to find my colt books
Ok I found my book your frame is for a WWI Remington arms UMC if only you could find that slide . they only made 21,676
Yes i stated earlier its a remington frame. Its a early umc too. Still think its collectable bit a shooter ?
