If it were me, I would preserve the history - just as your father brought it back to the US from WW-II.

It is also rather unusual to see a WW-I Luger in this high a condition of preservation. Don't store it in the holster. That can cause finish damage. Keep it separately in a silicon impregnated gun sock or bore store.

I would value this at the higher end of the previously quoted price range, especially if the magazine is matching.

I'm sorry to hear about your father's illness. These can be very trying times. My father, also a WW-II veteran, passed away 12 years ago. He was also in dementia care for the last months of his life.
