Can't uncock luger

It will be very obvious that I know nothing about Lugers. I bought a pair of them two years ago after watching a TV program on the ten best firearms ever made and the Luger was number one! So I thought I would try my luck at a local gun show and someone (who needed the money to build his first house) was selling two Lugers with a metal carrying case and one black holster. He said he had lived next door to a WWII Vet. that brought them back from Germany after the war. This young man made the Luger owner promise that if he ever sold them that he would buy them. Time pasted and they were sold to the young man but now he had to sell them to build his first house. Well that is about all I know about Lugers. I had wanted to shoot these great pistols but they are in such nice condition I thought I better not! So every now and then I get them out of their case and look at them. All I can say is they sure are works of art.

Well this morning I decided to pull back on the toggle and open it up to see what it looked like on the inside. And now I cannot get the gun to release no matter what I do. And I was afraid to do it to the other gun for fear I messed something up on the first one. Both of them are unloaded. I was hoping that someone would take pity on me and answer my post. Thank you for your time in answering.
