What do I have?
 
Hello. I am new to this. In cleaning out my grandmothers house we found what I think is a lugar and also a 1911 service pistol. How do I know what the markings are and if they are worth anything. We don't plan on selling them but should I get them insured?
The lugar has this on the top
Waffenfabrik
Mauser
Oberndorfyn
Then on the side there are some numbers
417360
On the other side it has
W-n (then what looks like a snowflake) 17

All the numbers on the different parts that I can see match.
Any idea how old this gun is? What its worth? Do I try to get it cleaned or just leave it alone?
Thanks

Sounds more like you have a "Brommhandled" Mauser pistol. Is there what appears to be the magazine in FRONT of the trigger?

Any photos available?

The Luger sounds more like an Austrian accepted C96. Can you determine if it's 9mm or 7.63 Mauser in caliber? Does it look like this?
