The small size and rear sight placement reminds me of the old Detonics Combat Master but it's not one of those as, as far as I know, they were all mini-1911s

If Detonics, CZ, Beretta and a 1911 had a love child, it would be this pistol. Hence, my confusion.

It looks a lot like an ODI "Viking" DA conversion that has been chopped to Officer's size; the weird dual-trigger arrangement is the same, at least. This is what a Commander-size looks like: http://www.gunauction.com/buy/8530587

It looks to me to be a DOUBLE ACTION DETONICS STAINLESS MK.VI that has had a bobtail and a dehorning job done on it. Also, some extra engraving on the slide, possibly the smith who did the work.
The pictures of the Detonics Mk.VIs I can find have that TSW serial number prefix.

The "TSW" is the mark of TSW Conversions of Paramus NJ. They use the Seecamp type conversion to convert single action 1911 pistols to double action.
Depending upon the level of custom work, you could get Stage I, II or III. This one is marked Stage III.
The slide on top is Detonics fitted to the converted frame. Very likely 45acp but since these are custom conversions it can be any chambering.
The Viking ODI conversion mentioned in a post above has that same Seecamp type DA conversion.

It's pretty minimal. A sheet steel cover plate keeps the moving parts where they belong. If that transfer bar gets out of alignment it won't pick up the hammer. Tolerances are pretty tight to make it function properly. Trigger pull in DA is horrendous.

"whacked out vintage detonics combatmaster. Mods include seecamp D/A conversion, bobtailed, and chopped in 45 acp. I also have the original 38 super slide thats been modded to fire 9x23 win as well. Hard chromed, tuned and branded stage 3 cobra by Virgil @ Tripp performance."

TSW is no longer in NJ.
Too bad. I'm around the corner from Paramus. Oh well.
