Erfurt and mauser opinions

Gentlemen,
I apologize in advance for posting my initial message to an incorrect location in the forum in error. I tried to delete it without success and ask that the moderator do so.

I saw an Erfurt 1913 and a Mauser 1937 in the LGS this afternoon and would like your opinions. From what I saw of the serial numbers without diassembly each pistol is matching with the exception of the magazines. The 1937 exhibits more loss of blueing while the 1913 has some spots of surface rust. Both bores appear somewhat worn but still usable. Both need a good cleaning. They are on consignment by the original owners heirs. Asking price for the Erfurt is 1350 and for the 1937 is 1495. What is the opinion of these two pistols-just basic shooters or are they low grade collectibles?

Thank you,
Foxdoublegunner
