Here's a mixmaster 1911 I got in a trade a couple months ago.
Exercito brasileiro - fabrico de Itajura slide on a JPE Pomona frame.
The slide is probably 1960's, with no serial number. eBay sellers ask $200 for a serial number version.
The frame has the infamous JPE/Sarco short handle, not full and not a commander, with GI spacing grip bolts. A full size magazine sticks out about a 1/4". The early pachmayr grips work well, as they create a kinda mag well and are flush. But it is weird, the mainspring housing is full size, and the grip safety is a little shorter.
The slide and frame fit feel pretty smooth. Not sloppy and not overly tight.
The barrel has some hack filing, although it is necessary to fit the slide. I found a stainless barrel that would need the same filing to fit, unless the slide is opened up. While it is ugly, it fits really well. For this reason I have not shot it.
The only thing I did was swap the trigger (and plunger spring assembly) , as the one that came with it had the same hack filing.
The finish is truck gun shooter quality. Look at pics closely. It seems like a thin parkerized finish, with some wear. Looks better in person.
The magazine came with this, and it is ugly but did work fine in another 1911.

Anyway, yea you can buy a tisas or RIA for a similar price, but if you want a winter project or want to learn gunsmithing on a 1911, this is a good start that doesn't have major consequences if you mess up. The frame and slide were not modified, so it's a good base.
It also would be a good 22lr conversion…
$340 with extra SS barrel, extra plastic grips, old magazine.
$300 with no extra SS barrel
I'd consider trades or put this in for a partial upgrade trade with cash. Searching for a mini 14/30, and who knows what else. I'm into hot rods, early stereo stuff, good tools, typical chit…
