I know that the 1911A1 (and 1911's) were offered by the DCM for civilian sales back in the 60's... I didn't buy one then, but managed to buy one from someone who did... it is a beautiful Remington-Rand made in 1944 I doubt it has had even a magazine of ammo put though it since it was refurbished at Anniston Army Depot just before its release. For all of you hopefuls out there... I have put it in my will to be left to my oldest daughter when my time comes... it is not for sale, sorry. (...and she is already taken )
