The CMP will restore them to shootable conditions. It’d be really interesting to see which manufacturers are represented. If you could snap up a Singer or IBM made one that would be super cool.

If the CMP finds anything from Singer or US&S, you can bet that’s going to auction.

They won’t be cheap. I expect them to sell them slightly below market value, like they have done in the past with rifles. The CMP will price them according to condition and manufacturer.

Any high payoff versions like USS and Singer, Colt 1911s ( not A1)will be auctioned separately from the rank and file RemRand etc. IBM made carbines, not 1911s, I think.

When these hit the CMP sales system, they will not be bargain basement offerings. The expected generic model price will likely be in the $500-700 range, based on condition and other features like matching numbers ( rare). This is from a discussion with the CMP director last year.
