Essex is a commercial manufacturer of 1911 frames and slides. They are not a military armory. You may be looking at the slide, which is often of military manf., and mated to an Essex frame. The company is known as "Essex Arms", and based in Hardwick, VT. They have been in business for over 30 years. Most appraisals would not benefit the real value of the pistol because we have no way of knowing who built it. There are many basement gunsmiths out there who threw these things together without the benefit of proper knowledge, and others turned out reliable shooters. Any shooter grade 1911 in good condition starts at $300.00. These can be the basis for good, reliable shooting pistols.
Essex County Natural History Society was created in 1833.
Essex County Natural History Society ended in 1848.
The odds of finding out are slim and none.
the serial number is too HIGH for 1911 military pistols........
