I can understand your excitement. I just got my IMBEL M1911A1, the Brazilian .45 clone.
IMBEL is the former "Fabrica de Itajuba", the same Army-owned company that produced the licensed FN FAL for decades here. Also, Imbel was the manufacturer of all Springfield Armory 1911s until 2012 or so.
It has this GI issue look, with black plastic grips and black epoxi finish, the same found on FAL assault rifles.
