Originality can't be restored, so put "originality" at the top of a priority list. If JMB didn't put it on the 1911 you don't need it.
Scott Meadows' book U.S. Military Automatic Pistols 1920 - 1945 says approx. serial number 2278662 on pg. 54.

Scott Meadows has published these three books:
U.S. Military Automatic Pistols 1894 - 1920, 1920 - 1945 and 1945 - 2012
that have very useful information sometimes not found in other books. I highly recommend Scott's books for this reason.
