Hello,

I am considering buying a commander size Charles Daly 1911. It has a stainless frame and a blued slide. The s/n is CD5018xx. Any idea when it was made?

I checked the Charles Daly web site, and they don't seem to offer this tu-tone finish configuration.

I also checked the FAQ, which said "Steel frame EFS models manufactured after March 2002 are 100% interchangeable with Colt. Models previous to this date are roughly 98% interchangeable. Many of the components for our EMS and ECS models are interchangeable however many other manufacturers produce mid-size and compact models in different ways."

Any idea what parts on the Charles Daly pistol I described would not interchange with standard 1911 parts?

Thanks in advance for the feedback.
