I see it's a NM prefix. Nice gun, good find... you'll enjoy it. A few things you may or may not be aware of. Humor me if you are.
If it doesn't have an "idiot scratch" on it, and you don't know what I'm talking about... look it up before you disassemble the gun.
Get some lube on the slide and frame rails, the locking lugs and FLGR. Stainless steel galling is not too common these days, but no point in encouraging the possibility.
Hi,
It does have the "idiot scratch" the previous owner learned the hard way and informed me on how to assemble and disassemble the gun without making it worse. It also has some marks on the barrel bushing but nothing too bad for what I traded for it.

I have never owned a Springfield so I don't know the significance of the NM prefix, can you explain?

I have yet to fire it, but any suggestions on proper lubricating a 1911 for when i clean it tomorrow would be appreciated.
