Real National Match pistols have considerable collector value, but none were built on Essex frames; figure collector value-none.
That said, i have a 1911, National Match slide, barrel, bushing , on an Essex frame that is as fine a tackdriver as one could hope to find. I call it the Frankenmatch, and I paid $355 for it about 2 years ago.
If you can get it for shooter money, it could be a dandy, but it will never be worth more than shooter dollars.
