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
