If the idea of owning a 1911 that's seen military service appeals to you, then it's worth the asking price, if not then carry on. Now, there's a better than average chance the pistol one receives will never have done anything more than stand quarterdeck watch peirside in Diego. But, that won't stop the imagination from taking over when you're seated in your recliner, watching Sands of Iwo Jima with the pistol resting on you beer gut. In the end, that's really the CMPs target audience.
