I was visiting with a friend today and we went out to his range to shoot a little. He had an unusual 1911A1 that I shot and the gun shoots better than I can at 75. It has a colt slide but the frame is marked ESSEX SN 43422. He said that the internal parts are all colt. Who is ESSEX and did they make complete guns or just the frames and what time frame? Thanks, Bill Hughes
