A nice looking military pistol. In terms of value, collectors prefer all numbered parts match especially those that are visible. Given that two visible parts do not match I'd consider it a 'shooter' or perhaps a lower end collectible if it is in very good condition with original finish, which is possible (difficult to tell from the photos). I've always found it difficult to value pistols because of the variables such as original finish/% finish remaining and if the other parts including the grips match. You might check Simpson's website, they have pistols with one or more missing parts from time to time, perusing the site can give an idea of high retail value.
