Modifying CMP 1911s

I had GI 1911A1s back in the 70s. Colt, Remington Rand & Ithaca Gun co. They had the correct markings.

I paid $90 for the one i turned into a Bullseye pistol. Later i sold it to a guy that was going to restore it to its original condition. Not an easy task, as it had many modifications.
The 1911A1 Colt was a trade-in on a New 70s Gold Cup. New GCs then were $276.

The GI issue guns were perfect for close range combat. Not for Bullseye Pistol shooting.

1979 photos, info.

The http://www.nramuseum.org has serial numbers .

You always will find someone who will put a silencer on a Luger, a tactical/polymer stock on a Garand or drum magazine on a 1911.
I do check the sacraments on THR, before putting something on a firearms.
