The stainless Lugers have a poor reputation for reliability. Today they go for $500-$700. The Interarms Mausers, in box with all papers; $800-$900, although I've seen people ask for more. Your two original Lugers would require much, much more info and proper photos to evaluate. You have a double stamped 1918, which if complete and correct with original finish is worth $1,000-$1,200. Your commercial .30 Luger is import marked, (CAIST A VT, M-23 GER 765 PARA NSA (57) so has lost collector value. This gun, if otherwise correct $700-$800. Your holsters need more info. One is damaged. Calculate maybe $100-$150 each, until we know more.

Cruise the Internet at places like Gunsamerica, AuctionArms, and Gunbroker and see what asking prices these days are. Look for stuff that sold quickly to determine the price tipping point..
Good Luck
