There are the "regular" Tisas "US Army" and "Service" models, and then there are the "blems" which are being sold at the cut-rate prices you're seeing now. Apparently, the Parkerizing isn't "taking" the same on various slides and frames, causing some appearance blemishes, which is why the prices on some of these pistols are so low. They are clearing out whatever demand will allow right now, and demand is pretty high.
Tisas also has "Duty" and "Carry" versions in stainless and Cerakoate, with better sights, beavertails, some with rails and some without rails, that cost a fair amount more.
The add says these have the black cerakote finish:
“ Made in Turkey, the SDS Imports 1911A1 Service model is a reproduction of the original US Military service pistol with some modern upgrades.
This particular model features a black cerakote finishHowever, in every other way, including the hammer-forged barrel and original weight, this pistol replicates the original Military issue.45 Government model at a fraction of the price. The pistol features all-steel construction on the frame and slide with a 5″ hammer-forged barrel. It also features a cock and lock and grip safety, just like the original. Comes complete with one 8 round mag, cleaning brush, and manual in factory box.”
I believe the original offering 1911-A1 models like TRH and I bought have a parkerized finish.
