Awesome info. Thanks! Any idea about the stamp below the slide release above the mag release?

That's the original Army inspector's acceptance stamp, "GHS", for Maj. Gilbert H Stewart.

Funny how I didn't even see the hammer color. Slide release darker as well. Added some more pics. Any idea about the stampings?

These are really nice. I didnt get mine from CMP but really respect these guns whether they are rebuilt or not.

I went with the field grade on the advice of the rep when I called in after I was picked. Am pretty pleased with what I got. Especially the age. I didn't want a refinished gun. To me, that reduced the originality. It has definitely seen use. Doesn't appear to have ever been re-armored/re-finished but I'm no expert. Has a number 4 in paint and stamped and all parts colt. By SN this was a run of 33,814 manufactured in 1917.

Nice one.

Nice, keep the faith folks. I have a feeling they received additional units, and are filling the applications first before going to auctions or a second round.

Well ain’t that just dandy! No more packets being sent. Hopefully only until they catch up. Notice the last few sentences. Hope nobody used GR!

That is because they stopped accepting orders for 1911's in 2018. These people have been waiting for almost two years for the gun they ordered in September 2018.

CMP will stop accepting orders at the end of business on 4 October 2018.

Read the rest of the page and you will see how the sale was organized and they said at the time they would not accept new orders until all of the first round orders were filled. I got mine about a year ago, Thanks to the luck of the random number generator.

Here's a dumb question; when this hits the FFL is there a 7 day wait, or just a background check and then off you go? I mean is this just the same as if I ordered some new 1911 off of GrabAGun? But no HQL, right?

My FFL did the 7-Day, just like any other pistol/handgun purchase, with the HQL.

No HQL required

Is there any chance they will start accepting applications again, or are they all gone?

Mine is apparently a Union Switch & Signal 1911A1; FWIW.

I snapped this close-up

FJA is Frank J. Atwood. "Found on Remington Rand and Ithaca 1911A1s (entire production)." So this is an Remington Rand frame? I really am not an expert on the finer details of a 1911A1.

It is either a Remington Rand or Ithaca frame with a Union switch slide on it. RR or Ithaca depends on serial number. FJA was for either RR or Ithaca, if it was a US&S frame it would have RCD inside a circle in the same spot. Still a nice acquisition with CMP provenance.

Nice mixed piece. Still a piece of history.
