The Slide Match: The "SERVICE MODEL" roll-mark on the slide was shared across the early full-sized variations. Randall initially marked all of their full-sized slides with "Service Model" before branching into different configurations.Configuration Detail: The Model A131, is explicitly defined as a full-size, right-handed .45 ACP pistol built with a machined flat-top slide rib specifically grooved to fit a Millett Model 100 adjustable rear sight.Rarity Profile: Only 581 total Model A131 pistols were ever built by the ⁠Randall Firearms Company during its brief production era (1983–1985).The Serial Number Twist (RF018##C)Your serial number still presents a highly interesting detail for collectors:Standard production for right-handed Randalls officially launched at serial number RF02000C.Your serial number (RF018##C) places it chronologically before the official retail launch block, meaning it is one of the 78 documented special-order or early presentation pistols built below 2,000.Some early flat-top, Millett-sighted guns in this low range are documented by collectors as either rare special orders or occasionally mis-marked frames from the factory floor. Because it is a highly limited Model A131 frame paired with an exceedingly rare sub-2000 serial number, it carries an elevated appeal for specialized 1911 collectors, includes 2 Randall original magazines
