I bought my son a used 1911 back in 2006 or 2007. A year or so later he wanted a "nicer" 1911 with different sights. He was going to sell the gun but I bought from him instead. I didn't own a 1911 so I kept that one. I just found out today while looking for a DOB this gun might be special. It has an "NM" prefix and only a 4 digit serial number.
Funny thing is, while looking on the Net I found a post on calguns.net made by 9mmepiphany with good info. Here it is...
I'm wondering what year this gun was made NM 59xx and if this gun really has a USA made national match frame and went through their custom shop. I do know this 1911 is very accurate and I'm glad I kept it.
Thanks in advance for the help...

The only pistols which use the national match frames are the complete custom pistols built through our custom shop. These pistols have "Springfield Custom" etched on the slide, and will have the "NM" prefix to the serial number.
