A small number of them came from the Army Museum System and it is stated that most of these will be the auction 1911s. Most of them have the original factory finish.
The Museum 1911s:
The rest/majority of them came from the Defense Logistics Agency warehouse, went through ANAD between 1978 and 1982 and have been stored ever since.
Boxed up ANAD rebuild 1911s:
This is an example of a service grade 1911.. Ithaca produced in 1945 and went through an ANAD rebuild in 1978
This will be one of the auction 1911 that came from the museum warehouse, it is a Remington/UMC.
