Gentlemen, I have a 98% Springfield Armory 1911 in.45 ACP. The gun is parkerized with 'MODEL 1911-A1 CAL.45' on the left side and 'SPRINGFIELD ARMORY' on the right side under the ejection port.

A lot of debate has gone around on the internet about what the 'NM' serial number prefix stands for. Some believe that it stands for 'National Match', which is typically the case when you see that marking, however it's not so with Springfield 1911's. It is well known that Springfield Armory Inc. 1911's start from IMBEL forgings from Brazil. Download metin2 mobber hack ultimate v40.

The frame is marked 'SPRINGFIELD ARMORY GENESO IL USA' with serial number NM103***. Slide to frame is excellent as is general fit and finish. Sights are high rise three dot with a staked on front. I'm curious as to any details because every SA 1911 I've seen has 'BRAZIL' marked on the frame. This one does not. I would greatly appreciate any input.

Thank you, Matt.

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. 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.

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!
