Don't worry, pride of ownership isn't advertizing..!
I agree with Hawk on 'Match Grade' parts. Whoever came up with the term deliberately chose a name that might be confused with 'National Match', which is an actual term, referring to actual parts with specific blueprints; mainly barrels, but barrel bushings and even slides were once available with this moniker -- available to the military parts' supply system, that is, not in the market.
This isn't to say that a 'match grade' pistol isn't any good. I would expect it to be better made than 'non-match grade' pistols made by that specific company, at that time. You might buy a 'plain' 1911 from a middle of the road maker and find it's reliable and a tack-driver, or an expensive 'premium/match/signature' model than only likes 1-2 brands of ammo and needs tweaking to be reliable.
If your gun looks, smells, works and shoots to your liking, congratulations, you have a winner. It's as simple as that.
Now... can we have some pictures..?
Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold.
