After WWII there was a massive rebuild program for the M1 Rifles and M1 Carbines used during the war. There was no such program for the Model 1911A1 pistol, and many of these have survived in original matching condition. As late as 1962 the DCM was selling 1911A1 pistols in unissued condition in the original factory shipping boxes.
