This one is not an S&W but interesting all the same to most gun guys. LINK - Civilian Marksmanship Program - Promoting firearms safety training!

It went off last evening on the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) Auction of M1911's & M1911A1's. I was kind of stunned at the final bid price of over 7 grand. The frame and slide are both Colt but not matching. The condition is listed as 99%, but I would consider it closer to 90%. Then again is the non-matching issue.

I won a Colt M1911A1 back in March at a CMP Auction for just under 2 grand. It is of 1945 vintage and in better condition to my thinking. Although, the above one of 1936 vintage must have a heck of a vintage advantage. Below is a picture of mine.
