All I know is, CMP is a great thing. Some of the carbines I've seen photos of from the recent release are fantastic.
$1000 for a M1911A1? I won't be buying one, but the price is probably right.

I hope we can see the Berettas in the future. I wouldn't be all that interested, but would be great for CMP. Also if they started selling new production target pistols, like Ruger MK IIIs. I hope this opens the door.

Chances of a Singer coming up are near zero. Like others said, if it makes it to auction they will bring market value. Non-matching Singer is probably going to be at least $10k. Every example I have seen (not in person) have gone $30k+.
However there is a fair chance to see some Union Signal guns come up. Still will go well over $2k. Current value of a matching Colt is already well over $2k

To ALL,

Reading this thread makes me almost physically sick to think of all the "plain vanilla" 1911A1 pistols that I bought for 100 bucks or less & then resold for 150.oo or less over the last 3 decades.
("Smart too late" fits well.)

yours, satx
