I concur with Sergio, When I "built" my Essex, it was to create a .22 & .45 shooter as inexpensively as possible (Cheap!). They were cast as has been described above, but still very functional, yet inexpensive frames. I would only consider them "shooter" class guns.

Ed, Here is an enlargement of the markings on both the frame and Colt slide.
