CMC Colt Government Model 1911A1 questions

I have a CMC Colt Government Model 1911A1 complete in its original box w/ dummy cartridges.
I've searched for information on this model, but have not found any detailed references to it.
It is complete and the action cycles fine.

My questions:

Is there a CMC catalog that lists this particular model and/or has it been referenced in any publications?

Also, what is is approximate value in today's collector market?

I've been a firearms enthusiast (both real & replica models) since the mid- 1960's and have found this Forum to be very informative and well managed.

An album link with additional photos will be posted soon.

Hi Jade, I am sorry to late.
Your model is CMC M1911A1 second model.

First model is non firing model, use smaller cartridges and smaller magazine.
It is CMC brand first original modelgun. Released in 1966.

Second model has almost same shape of first model, paper cap firing model, but not blowback model.

CMC modified first model for paper cap firing in 1977, because several month after CMC released first model MGC released paper cap firing M1911A1.

There are detail pictures and exploded diagram in yon-yon site.
Push last button of every article, if you need the diagram.

Very helpful information HiguSan :-)

Do you maybe also know meaning of "NKG" mark on box?

NKG is Nippon Kokyu Gangu Kumiai

Nippon = Japan,
Kokyu = High Grade,
Gangu = Toys,
Kumiai = Guild (?), Cooperative association (?).

It was made up mainly of Nakata, Hudson, Kokusai, CMC, Malugo and “Marushin” in 1965 (?).

Every maker produced modelgun designed by Mr. Mutobe.
They shared items by Mr. Nakata’s arbitration prevent produce same item in the early days.
They issued collaborated catalogue.

Manual from NKG catalogue.

Thank you for all the information and the time spent to locate and send it.
It is really helpful and greatly appreciated.
