How high will it go? 10K?

[Cheesy411]

I got my 1911 today, Ithaca 1911, flannery barrel looks to be all original, however I am no expert. I was offered rack, field and service grade. For the money you would be silly not to spend the extra bucks for the service grade. Thank you CMP!

I've suspected this but didn't want to start anything by posting it. My tinfoil hat is heavy enough as it is... My number is 17K so I'm still at least a year away...

Kind of like using a turn signal in Boston ... gives the other guy useful intel!

What do we win if we guess the correct number???

I saw a post on Facebook in the CMP group from a guy who got his choice of Service/Field and claimed he was #10,014

I got the call to day was offered field grade or rack grade I took a field grade asked that he could be one it had sharp markings. She said she do what she could. My number was or is 10064.

Me either. After seeing some of the whining from grown men over the last year or so, I wouldn't blame the CMP one bit for just bringing in the second shipment (if they got one) and just moving things along quietly to avoid a flurry or emails and repetitive posts and the beating of a herd of horses long since dead.

ALL these guys get it, and tie for post of the year.
Nothing more needs to be said.

No such word was given....see above, and below...
