Hi, and welcome to the forum. Thank you and your father for your service to our nation.
You have a Mauser made Luger from 1942, made under a Wehrmacht military contract for army usage.
With the plating, it's no longer considered collectible, but remains a family heirloom. Financial value perhaps $800-$1000 depending on what a buyer wants.
We publish a FAQ document with considerable Luger background. Just follow the FAQ link at the top of every forum page.
