A few hundred dollars.
The slide has been buffed and blued, the sights replaced, and the ejection port cut down. The markings are not very legible in the pictures, but I do not think they are of the 1922 period, so it is likely a total replacement. The rest of the gun has been nickel plated.
No orignality, no collector interest or value.
Enjoy it as a shooter but don't plan on getting rich off of it.

hehe... not looking to make $$$ on this, rather get an idea as reference. Pics don't do justice to the markings, but they are all there, and nice and crisp and correct for 1922 as far as I can tell by comparisons to other 1922 and reading forum posts.
Yes, it is a GREAT shooter, and if nothing else, it'll be refinished to a nice blue
