  The trigger is the aluminum finger piece type developed for military match guns in the 1960s.
  
  Ideas on dollar value are all over the place.
  The experts will say yours is a "shooter" worth only a few hundred bucks. Of course if they had one like it for sale, it would be worth more.

  Many of the parts could be identified with bright, close-up photos, some parts requiring photos of all sides. Most of your photos are too fuzzy & poorly lit to tell.
  
  But, it's not worth the effort. You already know that you have a mixed parts gun, & it's value is still only as a "shooter".

  What you have is parts But without detailed HANDS ON or great pictures . we cant tell . There are a number of people that also have mismatched parts but lets say I have a all early WW I Colt that has replacement WW II high standard barrel and plastic grips and your Parts gun had the correct grips and early Colt barrel, TA DA I buy your pistol and swap grips and barrel with my gun . My gun now looks correct "value goes up" and the gun I got from you does not go down in value because it was mismatched to began with . There are some parts from different makers that are VERY HARD to find Barrels ar one of these parts Hammers are another Magazines are also hard to find correct early ones like early Springfield.
