I built a 1911A1 for my uncle back in 1970 using an Essex frame... he was an MP during WW2 and had always wished he had brought his pistol home with him... The slide came out of my parts box at the time... It was a Union Switch & Signal slide... He still has it! I figured if I ever came across a US&S frame, I would buy him a Colt slide and trade him for it... but I never have found one in that serial number range...
