I have been out of actively collecting M1's since 2009. I purchased a 1944 SA that has the CMP certificate (and purchased from a fellow Jouster years ago) that was sold as a Collectors Grade WW2. I love it, and haven't had the funds to put toward something to top it with (would love to have a sub 100K early Gas Port). Before that, I had many different Garands but sold all the "mixmaster" stuff in 2005. The only things I hung since 2009 were the WW2 SA and a post-war SA 5.4M that I picked up somewhere in the early 2000's that was tagged as sold through the DCM in the 60's. It is all matching, in great condition, has a painted 2-digit rack # on the butt and a sling. It looks slightly used, MW1 and TE2. This weekend, I picked up another 5.4M very close in serial number with a rack number stamped on it. It looks almost identical to the one I have had for years. It was sold to me as a non-CMP gun with about the same physical condition as my other one. It is about MW 0.5 and TE slightly less than 2.
What are the post war guns all matching but no CMP certificate worth? I remember the SRS used to show DCM sales on many guns on their database but I understand that has changed hands now. Would the new service (I don't remember the name off the top of my head) likely show DCM sales?
