Re-built from service pistols at Springfield Armory, between 1955 and about 1967 and Rock Island in 1968. Pistols were built and re-built each year, with a portion being sold to competitors by the NRA. Each year improvements were added to the re-build program. Four articles in "National Rifleman" document these pistols well: August 1959, April 1963, June 1966 and July 1966. Many parts for these pistols have been available and many "Look Alike" pistols have been built by basement armorers. Pistols generally came with a numbered box and shipping papers. Prices listed are for pistols with numbered box or papers. Less box and papers deduct 30 percent. When well-worn, these pistols will offer little over a standard pistol. Early pistols are much less commonly seen, but seem to be less sought after since they look largely like normal issue pistols. NOTE: Add 20- to 30 percent for finish 99-100 percent.
