Springfield 1911a1 Serial Number Search

Greetings fellow members! I have been a member for quite some time, but have been aftk so to speak, for a lengthy time.I have found my way back and now seek a bit of knowledge regarding what I believe is an older model Springfield 1911 that I purchased yesterday. I really thought it was a late model Springfield 1911 A1 on account of it's condition, but as I have been researching a bit, I suspect it is a bit older than I realized.

I'm hoping some of you might enlighten me on some of the details of this model and when this particular piece was manufactured as well as any opinions about the quality control that existed at the factory during that time. I plan to call customer service after the weekend to find out it's specific birthday. I appreciate any info that anyone can offer! Here are a couple of pictures of it. Thank you, It's the blued finish that caught my eye as well as the basic features. It's what I like best in a handgun.

I notice that blue finish guns are not manufactured much these days. Mlin, Your gun looks very much like mine, even has the same scratch behind the trigger; looks like it was caused by the slide release? You are correct, Springfield doesn't do blued production guns anymore. Only the older ones will have it or a new custom shop gun.

I have a SA 1911-A1 that has a serial number that begins with NM. The barrel and magazines are also marked NM so of course I'm thinking.

The mark on the frame is the takedown mark. It can happen when trying to take the slide stop out, or more frequently when trying to get it back in during reassembly. Air navigation pro apk free download. Others will call it an idiot mark. Some slide stops are harder to get back in than others.

If you check the gunsmithing section, Logman posted a mod to help relieve and issues with reassembly. I had to do it on one of my pistols.

Well, I just got off the phone with a very pleasant customer service rep. She informed me that my pistol was manufactured in July of 1987 and that the NM prefix has no meaning other than part of the serial number.

She was not able to tell me what the retail value was back then, but if the basic,current GI model was selling for $650, then I got a pretty good deal on my pistol at $525. I would have to agree, but I have yet to shoot it! That should be remedied later today.

Thanks for all the comments and info gentlemen!

Is there a website, sticky or a thread available for finding out when a particular 1911 springfield was manufactured?? I recently aqquired a what appears to be a springfield 1911 mil-spec. Spring crosscannons logo above the serial# --geneseo,il usa NM100,000 serial # Slide serations are angled ejection port is lowered,but not flared magwell not beveled has mil-spec rear sight,but front is dovetailed stainless barrel no lanyard loop I have looked around a bit here and found where others have had similar pistols and called them.enhanced or defender.

Thanks guys!. This 1911 looks like a hybrid but from some of the info. In the stickys it may quite possibly predate the Springfield GI an Mil-spec.you're right, they didn't call them 'GI', or 'Mil-Spec' back then.

Here is #NM112xxx, that i purchased late in 1991, the email i recieved from SA stated that it was manufactured in June 1991 as a 1911-A1.45 90s series pistol, yours is older than mine. Obviously i've made some changes to this one, and it's a very good pistol that i carry often.
