Ooof, I just found my next project 🤑
 
Picked up 2 more CMP 1911s. Both are service grade mixmasters with GI replacement slides contracted to IMI. One of them is a Colt frame, and the other one an lthaca frame. As luck would have it, the first CMP 1911 I got a few years ago was a Remington Rand with an Ithaca slide; I swapped that slide over so that I can at least have an all-Ithaca gun even if it’s not matching.
