What I think you have is a sporterized Schmidt-Rubin 1911. Should be okay with 7.5x55 but you should probably have a smith check it out. I bought a similar looking sporterized 1889 many years ago (pre-internet) and it took a long time to figure out what I had. The first firings were with a lanyard standing behind a tree.
