I bought an almost mint 1950's Colt Government Model and couple of months back. The finish is 99+%. The only thing I could see that was not original was that it has what looks like pre-WW 2 walnut grips rather then the correct Bakelite/plastic ones. As I usually do I sent for a Colt Factory Letter figuring it would say "shipped to Sam's Hardware, Oshkosh, WI", but hoping it would say walnut grips. It got the letter today and it didn't say either. Type of Stocks is "Not Listed", so no special order there, but sold to is;

Fiscal Officer 216
Army & Air Force Exchange Service
Finance & Accounting Branch
New York, NY

and shipped to is

Exchange Officer
Central Exchange Warehouse
APO 828, c/o Postmaster
New Orleans, LA

in a shipment of 1. Anyone care to interpret this for me? I the Exchange Service the same as the Post Exchange (PX) or is it something more interesting?

Thanks
Howard
