Kodiak:
In all probability the slide is Springfield and the receiver Essex. It sounds like a single action 1911A1
The Essex receiver is an after market frame. We used them to build 1911's for NMC shooting. Fairly good frame, at least it was, but historically speaking they were popular back in the 60's and 70's. As far a collector value, it may depend upon who built the pistol.
Really not much collector value, (my opinion)
Clark, Jack Best, Charley Wright
Value will depend again on the builder and of course what size group the gun will shoot. The gentlemen I mentioned were noted for 2" groups or less, @ 50yds with ball ammunition. Marrying by lot number and mfg of ammunition.
Might even be one that I built during that period
