I bought a Remington Rand 1911A1 on Gunbroker.Com approximately 3 1/2 years ago.
The seller sent me the original DCM paperwork from the 1960's with it.
It came out of the Anniston Arsenal in Alabama. It had been arsenal refinished at Augusta Arsenal as it had the code AA on the right frame in front of the slide release. All of the parts were correct for the weapon except the mainspring housing which was for an Ithica. Also came with a post World War 2 magazine.
The DCM paperwork said it was sold as unserviceable even though it was in mint condition and was sold to the man I purchased it from for under $20 which included shipping.
I paid $700.00 for it and kept it until I was able to get a Remington Rand that was not an arsenal rework in almost the same condition.
I eventually used the DCM 1911A1 as part of a cash / trade for a 1918 manufactured Winchester 97 trenchgun.
