Marksman
When I heard about the CMP getting 1911's I knew I had to take a shot. I got lucky and got an RNG lottery number in the low 3200's. I got the call and took possession of this a few weeks ago.
Service Grade
early 1944 Colt Frame (based on inspector marks --GHD--and SN 1609xxx) with SA stamp
Remington Rand Slide
Late grips
Barrel is a mystery. Has M P mark (assuming Magnaflux/proof) on one side of lug and HEC on other. --any help here would be appreciated--
Appears to have not been issued after re-arsenal/refurbish as the parkerizing has just handling marks and shows very little frame-to-slide wear.
And since pics are a must (sorry for the junk photos, only had the GoPro handy)
Overall I am very happy, this process tested my patience, but it was exciting.
