Francis covered it well. I still have people look at me as if I was high when I tell them the last contract was in 1945 for the 1911A1. When I was the Small Arms Officer at NAS Whidbey Island, I carried a real nice Union Switch and Signal .45 that had a proper serial number. The lettering was not obliterated as some of our other .45s. If it had been re-arsenal'd, it was done nicely. The four MINT Service Model Aces we had were awesome. The Parkerizing was not even worn off the rails!
