Hey Guys,
I took some poor photos the night when I saw the pistol at my FFL guy's house. The lighting is low so these are not so good. But it's what I have now.
I can't take possession of it till the 10 days are up.
In this state that means 240 hours from when the paper work was started. So at 6:21:15 pm Sunday I can bring it home and clean it up and take some better photos.
Have It, Hold It, Mine.
Here is what I can see from the photos;
I got my RNG number, 12028, on Feb. 27, 2019 (about a year ago). I got THE call last week and my M1911A1 is now at my FFLs. It is a Rack grade.
It has a Colt frame No. 907466. It has a slide stamped 7790314 on the left and 53397 on the right side. The CMP tag on the pistol says it is a GI Replacement Slide.
When and Where were these made?
The frames right side has a M-B stamped on/over the crossed cannon Ord. wheel. OB 76 is marked near the slide stop pin.
The finish is a dark gray park. that is very fresh (not scratched or skuffed to much). The stocks are in great shape. Looks like it has a Ithaca hammer.
There is cosmoline grease oozing out of it. I will know more Sunday night.
So I'll post what I find out then.
Glad to be Back,
Over, John Mello
