Ithaca Serial Numbers

[Asia Jordan]

IthacaCollege Community,

To ensure that members of the Ithaca College community receive timely emergency alerts, Ithaca College will begin automatically adding mobile phone numbers for students, faculty, and staff to the IC Alert Emergency Notification System (ENS) by Rave. Phone numbers used for the Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) system will be used for this enrollment. Members of the campus community may continue to provide additional numbers directly through Rave as desired.

The policy change to require a mobile number for the ENS and to use a previously provided mobile number for this purpose is based on current best practices for emergency notifications.

This allows the college to utilize multiple methods to reach out to all students, faculty, and staff with critical, time-sensitive information in the event of an emergency. These can include, but are not limited to, cancellation of classes due to severe weather conditions, a fire or chemical leak requiring the evacuation of a building or closing of a portion of the campus, or an ongoing criminal incident that requires members of the campus community to take action to ensure their safety.

By default, ENS messages also go to all active Ithaca College e-mail accounts as well as to faculty and staff office telephones listed in the campus directory.

There is no need to take any action in response to this change. All Ithaca College employees, students, and on-campus affiliates have been required to provide the college with, and regularly update, a valid mobile phone number in their SSPR profile. This number will now be used for IC Alert messages. If someone has not provided the required information, a mobile number given to the college for any purpose may be used by the college as their default number for use in IC Alert messages.

Members of the campus community will continue to have the option to include additional phone numbers in their Rave profile to use for emergency communications. However, the default number used for ENS purposes will be the number used by SSRP. Information on how to log in and update that SSPR number can be found in this IT Knowledge Base article.

All members of the campus community are also encouraged to download and install the free Rave Guardian safety app on their mobile device. The app provides an additional way to receive IC Alert notifications as well as quick access to a suite of personal safety tools and resources.

For more information, visit Ithaca.edu/ic-alert or contact the Information Technology Service Desk at servi...@ithaca.edu or (607) 274-1000.

Sincerely,

Samm Swarts

Account numbers in IC Finance Cloud are 28 digits long, and consist of 10 account segments. This article provides information on each of these segments, and how they are used to define each account number in the General Ledger.

Fig. 1 Example account number shown in the 10-segment format xx.xx.xx.xxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxxx.xx.xx.xx, made up, respectively, of Fund, Function, Entity, Department, Subcode, Usercode, Project, Intercompany, Future 1, and Future 2 segments.

01 Fund - Unrestricted - Funds are budgeted each fiscal year and are only available to spend during the current fiscal year.

02 Fund - Designated Unrestricted - Funds can be established by a donor, usually for a particular purpose (Projects 20xxx or 24xxx) and can continue year to year. Also, 02 Funds can represent the spending amount available from gifts given to Endowments (Projects 26xxx) and roll from year to year.

03 Fund - Grants and Contracts - These funds are for a designated time period according to the specific grant or contract. Funds may roll from year to year depending on the time period. (Project code 29xxx).

The table below contains a listing of expense subcodes, their names, definitions, and examples of what types of transactions are made using each code. The list does not contain every subcode in the General Ledger, but does contain most operating expense subcodes that are widely available to campus end users. If you are unsure about what subcode to use, please submit a help request using the Services tab above or by emailing financec...@ithaca.edu.

I was planning to pick up the Ithaca in the photos below tomorrow. It was pointed out to me by members of the CMP forum, that while the serial number falls within the last block of 1945 production pistols, the serial number is higher than the last known Ithaca serial number of 2,660,318. Any information that could be provided by knowledgeable M1911 collectors would be sincerely appreciated. This would be my first USGI 1911 pistol and I am hoping to avoid getting burned if this is not an honest example.

I don't know that this serial number would overly concern me. Many of Clawson's references refer to features on "observed" guns. Perhaps 2660318 was the last known one "observed". If I was "faking" an Ithaca frame I would certainly be sure to use a serial number that fell within the known range. I think the frame is legit. The gun has obviously been re-parkerized, which may make it less appealing to some collectors. Presuming it has the correct HS or F barrel, correct Keyes grips, and correct mainspring housing, I think the biggest driver would be asking price. If a great price, go for it. If price is pushing retail, I'd holdout for one with less detractions. Wishing you the best!

Of all the manufacturers, the Ithaca shipments are the best documented, particularly the shipments after May 1944. The serial number 2660318 is the highest number shown in the shipment records. Looking at the pictures of the markings in Clawson's small book, some of the fonts on the frame appear to be the wrong size and slightly off. Without better proof of its orginality, I'd have to agree with kwill.

I'm certainly no authority on .45's. I have owned many. I have all the books and I love those pistols. But I too don't trust the frame or the slide. If these guys can make a Singer they can make an Ithaca. I agree that you should keep looking. If some folks are seeing a potential problem with this gun then that means when you try to sell it you will have problems. At least that's my opinion.

Thank you very much for your input guys. At the very least the frame looks to be fake. I knew that this particular example didn't exactly give me the warm fuzzy feeling...now I know why. I'm just glad that I asked for a more informed opinion before proceeding...you guys helped save my bacon.

I want to add that Clawson noted that Ithaca records were discovered in a government warehouse, and that "many were missing or illegible due to poor quality microfilming." That being said, he states with no apparent ambiguity that the last pistol manufactured was serial number 2660318. He also states the assigned range for Ithaca went up to 2693613, as others have stated.

This is probably a gun to avoid, particularly as a first M1911A1. No matter if it is legitimate, based on the published resources and manufacturing record references available, it would most likely be frowned upon by a future purchaser unless new information proved its provenance.

An Ithaca M1911 was the first handgun I ever purchased, 31 years ago in Hawaii. At least I thought it was an Ithaca for the first 15 years or so...Until I realized it was an Ithaca slide on a Remington Rand frame. I still have it, and it was already reblued when I bought it. The frame has not been altered, but it has many competition upgrades that I made to it about 25 years ago. I've put a lot of rounds through that pistol over the years...I may shoot it again tomorrow.

For some reason, this subject kept me awake for a couple of hours last night, thinking about the possibilities. I want to offer up some other thoughts on this controversial M1911A1 pistol. I still don't think it would be a good first item for a collection, but I also don't believe we can completely dismiss it without very close inspection of the firearm.

Clawson certainly did his research, and his work was the first in-depth coverage of WWIII M1911A1 pistols. He stated that the Ithaca records had issues, and were incomplete, yet he was pretty straightforward in his statement of the last Ithaca pistol manufactured being serial number 2693613. My question is this...Has anyone else looked at those same records, or performed additional research on the subject? It appears to me that the Meadows and Poyer books took Clawson's work at face value, and cited his work in their books. It's certainly possible that there is more to it, and that we are assuming that all 3 authors fully vetted Ithaca production when that might not be the case. Maybe they did, but I don't see any additional context to the subject after the Clawson work.

David, unfortunately it's definitely not an Ithaca-produced gun. The frame wasn't made by Ithaca at all and one way to confirm that is to look at the shape of the rear tang and compare it to any other Ithaca frame made at the time.

To answer your original question though, the complete Ithaca records are now public and have been reviewed countless times by countless people. There was one last batch shipped in late September of 1945 but it was actually made up of guns with earlier serial numbers. There is no record of any 1911A1 with a serial number later than 2693613. While one can speculate that maybe a few more were made for company executives or something like that, they definitely didn't produce an additional nearly 10,000 units after the war that they never told anyone about.
