I picked up my CMP service grade Remington Rand this morning from my FFL. Frame and slide are Remington Rand and it looks to me like it's the original finish. Looks to me like it has a replacement barrel that matches the finish really well.
Sorry about the crappy cell phone pictures while I was at work but I couldn't wait to post it. To say I'm happy with it is an understatement!
I would have been happy with anything but I really wanted a 1911A1 as I wanted a shooter so this is like Christmas morning to me. Slide stop looks like a replacement to me otherwise everything else matches very well.
I'm very happy to have this one and still can't believe they held out to my random number of 9254.
I've never seen a USGI 1911 or 1911A1 in the wild that wasn't priced at 1500 bucks or higher so yeah I feel like I got my money's worth at $1,050.00!

“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
