Use 0000 or even 00000 steel wool and a good gun oil and rub VERY lightly to remove any active rust.

I would clean the grips with a good soap, perhaps dishwashing liquid soap, and a stiff toothbrush to get them as clean as possible without damaging them.

Then just keep the gun properly lubricated for your climate to prevent future rust. The gun will be preserved and ready to defend the future generations of your family if ever the need should arise...

Thanks for sharing the photos of your Luger and it's family history with the forum.
