We just had a forum discussion of various opinions of subject pistols. Some thought they would be akin to a bucket of rusty old guns. Some of us are hoping for better appearance and functional condition of the old warhorses.
I admit they are not for everyone and nicer condition and even brand new 1911's can be had far less money. The nostalgia bug is the reason some of us want one of the CMP M1911A1's.
I just discovered this link today with some isolated pictures of the M1911A1's to be either sold or auctioned. The NRA article and few pictures might provide some insight as to what to expect if you are in this market.
