    NM from DCM, how to tell year

    Hello, I recently purchased a NM 1911a1 dated some time in the 60s. Judging by the sights and a few other things, i’ve Narrowed it to about 4 different years. Is there a way I can tell for sure what year it was refurbed by Springfield Armory? Thanks

    There is a chart on Coolgunsite.com
    Go to the Gallery, click on a picture of a NM, look for the link to the chart on the page for that gun.

    Looks to me like it would be hard to tell the difference between a 1963 and a 1965 or between a 1966 and 1967.

    Hello and thank you for your advice. Yes, I have seen that page and it’s impossible to tell the differences between those years. The only thing, there is no serial number under the firing pin plate which leads me to believe possibly a 63 or 64
