Sounds like it all depends on if you want a project or not.
The trigger guard would be pretty tough to restore at this point but even that's not impossible if you can find a good welder.
To me $300 seems like a heap of money for something unknown and fairly butchered like this. But then up here we can still get new Norinco 1911's that are decently faithful to the original and shoot pretty good right out of the box and aren't all modified and stippled. These can show up at our door for under $400 after taxes and shipping so those are OUR project 1911's.
