The refinish and grip replacement takes it out of collector interest.
The good news is that you have a family heirloom that you can shoot without concern!
These Mauser made lugers are very high quality. Good metallurgy. Accurate shooters.
Read up on them here, and remember that they are not modern handguns with extensive safety features. Always follow the safe handling rules, and double check that it's unloaded before each disassembly. The upper by itself can be a functioning firearm without the frame.
Are the grips real bone or ivory? If so they have some intrinsic value...
