Essex doesn't make complete guns to my knowledge.  They make frames and slides.  That would mean that the pistol was built by someone.  If you don't know who that someone is or know their reputation for building 1911's, it is a gamble at best.  You would also have a hard time knowing what parts were used in it.

With used SA GIs getting down into low/mid $400s, I probably wouldn't want to gamble on that one.

Essex makes decent stuff but as already stated, you dont know where the rest of it came from or who slapped it together.
