Colt 1911 .45 Auto

I know this is a little off the page so to speak, but I suspect that several of the folks on this forum are familiar with a variety of firearms.
I like my lugers, but have an interest in the old Colts as well.
I recently picked up a Colt 1911 that is possibly a commercial model or was used by one of the foreign countries. It has an importer's mark "Essex Arms" out of Vt.
I would like to determine exactly what I have and have included a couple of image files.
I didn't see much need in joining another forum just for a little info, since I'm sure there is probably more than a few of you folks that have a lot of knowledge in many areas.
Thanks for any info that is forthcoming.
