Not a copy, at that time Argentina had a Colt license to produce the actual 1911A1 which it did under the Sistema Colt 1927 denomination. The Ballester-Rugaud/Ballester-Molina pistol was an attempt to reduce and simplify production while keeping "some" compatibility with the existing 1911A1

I’d still call that a copy

It's more on the side of a Star B though

Very nice and classic looking 1911 clone.

Looks like the Colt 1911 model 1927 that I have that was made for the Argentine Army

[@OreGear]

They are very similar

I like those stepped slide serrations

[@GBGuns]

Oh...just after I saw them you mentioned them and their limited effectiveness. They look neat though!

The Ballester-Molina pistol is based on the Spanish Star pistol, only some parts are interchangeable with the Colt 1911.

So did piston engine aircraft. Doesn’t mean they’re still top dog.
