$2k-$2500 probably isn't enough for a W.W. II vintage 1911A1. However, what you plan on doing with the thing matters most. That vintage 1911A1 is more a collector's piece than a shooter. The aftermarket clones are for shooting.
A Wilson 'Classic' starts at 3 grand BNIB. Those guys have a 'financing plan' with the First National Bank of North Arkansas. Geezuz. Even used on Gunbroker they're running over 3 grand.
You can have a used Ed Brown for about 2 grand though. Also on Gunbroker. Go shopping on the auction sites after looking at the assorted high end cloner sites so you know what BINB costs.
