    Space Research Corp Marking on Slide

    We are cataloging our M1911 Collection and ran across a slide marked "Space Research Corp" (see attached photograph). Can anyone give me information on this one of my counter parts and myself have searched the internet and have not come up with anything pertaining to the slide other than a auction site with a like item. Any help would be appreciated.

    Only thing I find about Space Research Corp. is that it was the operation of Gerald Bull, most famous for the Iraq "Supergun" project. He also designed and sold conventional artillery to South Africa.
    Anybody in the artillery business with unpopular customers might feel need of armed security.

    We read that too, but did not find any reference to the M-1911 pistol in any of the research we did on Mr. Bull.
