great grandfathers bring back

From your photos, every one of your Great Grandfather's bringbacks looks modified. Both pistols look buffed and reblued and the rifle has the stock cut down, the sling nailed on with brads and the take-down escucheon removed from the stock. The holster cutdown was almost undoudtedly done by a GI, as a German would have never modified his gear in this way.

Until much better photos are provided, this is what I see.
