I ordered through the NRA DCM program about 1964 also and got lucky. My 1911 is a Colt and like brand new and the 1911A1 is a US S&S and about 95%. Still have the Colt in the original shipping box with papers and have never shot it, I guess because it was a " Colt " and I wanted to preserve it for the future. The US S&S I have shot it perhaps a dozen times because it was a unknown manufacturer and I was disappointed it wasn't another Colt. BUT , when I realized what I had, I oiled it, am taking care of it and haven't shot it since. Went out and bought a Series 70 for a "shooter"......
