essex makes/made? frames and slides good stuf for the most part. to the best of my knowledge thay never made a complete pistol. the value of a frankenstin build is determined by the reputation of the builder. if you do not know him then its not worth much. but then most 1911s aren't worth the price there builders would like to get for them. sorry i am not a fan of 1911s.
Among the rarest of all the Randall pistols was the Model A312 which was introduced March 1, 1984, but which was never a production gun because only two sample pistols were ever made. The company intended to market this model in Europe, and had Randall Firearms Company survived, it no doubt would have made regular production runs. The company failed before any orders were taken. This pistol has a round-top slide and fixed rear sight. The only difference between the single Model A312 and the production A311 is the caliber. The A311 is a .45 ACP, and the A312 is in 9mm. Serial numbers were RF02012C and RF02031C respectively.
Essex Arms 1911 Serial Numbers
All guns made after 2002 have serial numbers. The manufacturer imprints a combination of digits on the body of the weapon. This number is stamped onto the metal portions of the handle, receiver, slide or trigger guard, making it less likely to wear off over time.
Antique guns may not have a serial number because they were manufactured before there was a legal requirement to have identification numbers. Depending on what information gun owners have, they can conduct their own search on antique guns in various ways. For example, if they have only the manufacturer's information, they can contact that manufacturer to learn its provenance.
Once the New Bohemia gun had been recovered, the FBI traced the serial numbers through Colt directly to Lebman who soon found himself in hot water. After intensive scrutiny and an investigation, he was charged with violations of the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934 and the Texas State Machine Gun Law. On August 1935, he was sentenced to five years in the Texas State Penitentiary but the conviction reversed on appeal because the District Judge erred. A retrial ended in a hung jury and Lebman was released.
Here we present an Essex/Colt Model 1911A1 Competition Pistol. Essex Arms was a maker of cast frames and slides. Essex never made complete firearms, only parts that were assembled primarily by gunsmiths. 2ff7e9595c
