The same two that are always recommended in that price range.

The Ruger SR1911 or the Springfield Range Officer.

Yep.

I'd add to that the Springfield Loaded Parkerized. Can find those in that price range too sometimes.

good price...if OP's father wants upgraded sights then I think he is still better off with the RO.....personally I think everyone should own at least one Colt 1911...

Remington R1.
Paid $550 also had a $75 rebate. So I paid $475 for an incredible 1911.
It's very close to a GI style 1911 but has better sights. Remington also has a lot of history making these during ww2.
It no Kimber but then again it's not $1000 - $1300 either.
I think it's worth a look.

Sticks and stones is wrong Remington arms did NOT make 1911A1's in ww2 it was Remington rand the typewriter company.

Keep in mind dad's eyes may not be able to use 1911 sights, welcome to being aged.
