The CMP auctions both have a day or more left and I'd expect the prices to jump at the end. I purchased a service grade back in January and it looked like it hadn’t been shot since it had been re-arsenaled. I have seen pictures of dozens of the guns sent out and none of then were pretty rough even the lesser grade pistols I've seen weren't too bad. The CMP has descriptions on their website and generally the descriptions are worst case scenario with most of the guns being received in better condition than most people expect. I have heard of people being disappointed, but I'm guessing they were expecting a nice shiny brand new gun and don't realize these have been around for decades and probably seen numerous wars. That's kind of the point of buying a CMP gun IMO...
If you want a cheap 1911 there are better options out there. If you want a legit Army 1911 in good condition the CMP is your best bet.
