My Loaded shows the "N" prefix serial number under Imbel, no Imbel under the dust cover and no Imbel on the right side of the grip frame. How about that?

Only Springfield's inconsistency is consistent.

Well, I see that the N and NM were covered, but does anyone have info on the WW serial prefix?

I bought a new Mil-Spec back in the 80's that had a NM serial number. IIRC it also had Brazil stamped on it. Does that sound right?

It's inconsistent with what I have observed with Springfield's NM marked 1911's... however, that is a much earlier Mil-Spec and what Tom opined above certainly applies-Originally Posted by Bacon

In 2007, Springfield, Inc. produced 4032 9mm and 9655 .45 pistols, for a total of 13,687. Source:
This is domestic production only, of course, and does not include those pistols imported from Brazil and Croatia. It does give an idea of how many were sufficiently "processed" here to require reporting as "manufactured."
In contrast to 2007 (the most recent year available from the ATF), in 2006 Springfield, Inc. produced a total of 7153 of both calibers.

PS During 2007 Colt manufactured 17,633 .38 Super and .45 ACP pistols.

Here is my 1990 "Defender model" with a NM serial number.
No brizal marking at all anywhere on the gun.
Notice the placement of the springfield seal. Its behind the ejection port intsead of infront of it.

the NM prefix will not have Brazil marked on it since it was assembled and finished here in the US. It also doesnt mean that the serial number is an NM and the logo will be placed at the rear part of the slide. I got an NM prefix springer that the logo is at the front part of the slide. The earlier model guns they have does have the logo at the backOriginally Posted by Bugman53
