Thanks everyone. It is my gun, I haven’t shot it yet but will. Purchased from an elderly gentleman.
Re: Frankengun - The best thing I can suggest is to study pictures and read. The gun above is an arsenal rebuild gun and is correct for that type but in some ways unusual as it appears all original mechanical components stayed with the gun. It would have originally been shipped with wooden grip panels during WW1 but the plastic ones installed are correct for an arsenal gun rebuilt somewhere around the Korean War. You will want to understand barrel markings, safety and hammer types, grip safety styles, etc. A commercial 1911 will have a much different finish.
Colt made bunches of these guns in 1918. Mine was shipped out the door on May 27, 1918.

Still amazing to hold a piece of history that cracks the century mark. My dad has this old Luger P08 from 1914 and to celebrate its 100th birthday we took it to the range back in 2014. The ergos are terrible and the toggle is a PITA but the fact that they were able to do all this 100 years ago is amazing. Same with your 1911 - 100 years of life and probably still shoots great.
