If they are, they will never be part of the lottery - they will auction those instead :)

Agree, anything rare or very valuable will be auctioned. I believe I heard somewhere that some of the 1911's received this year are from a "museum" stockpile.

I've been kicking it around but I don't know. I recognize the historical significance and collectability, but for the price I could just as easily buy a new modern production 1911 with all the bells and whistle.

Actually , Remington Rand made over 2x the number of 1911A1s during WWII than Colt and were regarded as superior and at lower cost per pistol.

and yet they are still copies of the colt.
