The CMP, Civilian Marksmanship Program, has been offering US Property 1911A1 pistols for sale fairly recently.  Although they are not currently taking orders, I got my paperwork in in January and a few weeks ago, my number came up.  They are offering three grades, and you wouldn't know what grades would be available until you got the call.  I was offered all three grades and chose the best (most expensive) one.  When I went to pick it up at my FFL I found I had a Remington Rand slide and frame from about 1943.  After taking it down and cleaning it, it looks like a brand new barrel as I can see no wear marks on it what so ever.

All of the pistols have likely been rebuilt some time in their life and I am going to try to get some more information on this particular pistol

 

Pretty nice to have a US property 1911

 

Peter

Pete,

That looks super nice!!

I liked the 1911s in as issued condition. The way John M Browning designed them.

Start adding on a bunch of stuff and they soon turn into crew served weapons.

Peter,
Beautiful gun!!
They are fetching some high dollars for the one's that make to auction....While these are probably VERY nice guns....I guess it just doesn't strike me the right way...
BUT all the milsurp stuff seems to have gone through the roof....my little M1 carbines are double, or even more than just, say 10 years ago....indicating the demand for the old army stuff I suppose

:-)Rocky

Rocky,
I remember in the early 60s,I think it was Old Hunters Lodge in VA was offering M-1 Garands for $79. and 1911s for $29.

The 45 acp revolvers (S&W and Colt) were also going for around $29.

I think M-1 carbines through the DCM were going for $19.

In the early 60s,in 'Nam I saw storage areas with crates of M-1 carbine stacked up high.

Hi, here's mine, 1911 made in 1919. Redone at SA (Springfield Arsenal), Colt Frame and Slide. Like the CMP M1 Carbines I begged my friends to get one but was ignored, regards, Mike

Very nice. If I read your post right, your frame and slide manufacturer match.

I was lucky enough to get my number drawn in the first round held by the CMP. I also chose the most expensive of the three grades.

My slide and frame don't match on the manufacturers, however -- 1945 Remington Rand frame, Ithaca slide, HS barrel.

Hi, my cousin got a Remington Frame (1943) and a Colt " Hard Slide " (1950's). Hard Slide's were Colt commercial slides purchased by the US Govt. The frame has a "BH" mark that was used by the Austrian Army after the War. He was very disappointed; I don't know what he expected. I think it's a great and interesting pistol. regards, Mike
