Springfield Research Service (SRS)

[Hoss]

First post, the website is telling me I need to make a post saying hi, so HI. Now on to why I was reading the board in the first place.

I have a US&S 1911 and a colt SAA that I think was military issue (waiting on the letter from colt to verify that). While trying to figure out where the US&S pistols were issued (as in what branch, where they might have seen action etc...) I ran across this forum and mention of the SRS (usmartialarmscollector.com). An SRS letter looks like it would be really cool to have for both of these guns, so I sent them an email to see if they're still doing that research. Reading further, I see they went through a lot of changes at least 5 years ago, and not much has been said about them lately (unless my search skills have failed me). So the first question is, does anyone know their current status? I just sent the email this morning, so they may still get back to me in a timely manner, I'm just impatient. How much does their service cost? Did they ever reintroduce the online version of the database?

Second, can one of you who has one of the books check for any hits on my US&S? SN 1084410.

And third, whether there is a hit on that number or not, does anyone know who the US&S pistols were issued to? The only thing I've been able to find was that most went to the OSS or the navy.

Thanks,
