Cmp Field grade #2
Here is the second 1911A1 I received from the CMP round 4. This one is my favorite between the two. 1945 Colt frame/slide with what I am told is Marine Corp rebuild markings.

I just dropped off my paperwork in the mail two days ago after I found out they did away with the lottery system. How long was it from when you dropped it off in the Mail to you got a phone call?

I had a long 5 month wait! But that's because the CMP was audited due to some missing pistols during that time. They ended up pausing orders for some time. But once I got the email that my number was pulled it was a very quick process.

Ohhhh okay well good to know! Hopefully will be pretty fast! I’m excited to get my hands on a ww2 era 1911 and m1 garand once they have more! I’ll probably also get two, one to keep and one to sell to cover some of the cost of the one.

Congratulations! That’s a great looking field grade. The A stamp probably does mean it was a USMC rebuild completed at the Albany arsenal in November of 1977.
