Colt 1911 U.S. Army .22 conversion
It's a Colt 1911 U.S. Army .22 conversion. Serial #945233 Barrel and inner slide has wear, outside has good condition for being 70 years old. If you could tell me what kind of grips these are, im pretty sure there are after market but not Wood, feel like some kind of polymer or fake wood, don't know if that was an option back then. If you could give me a ballpark of what it is worth, thank you

Dear Vincent,
my sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a Colt semi-automatic Model 1911 .22 conversion pistol. It has the serial number 945233. The grips are made out of artificial mass imitating horns.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 150 to 300 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
George
