My Two Bringback Inherited babies

[lunchbox643]

Ok, so to start off, my grandfather brought both of these back from WWII they are both 41byf i believe. One was personally found by him in a Reichstad (spelled wrong) building, sometime after he landed at Omaha in '44. The other was purchased from a friend around the same time. (i also inherited a K98 Mauser if anyone wants to see that.)



So i know nothing about these guns, except that they have been passed from my grandfather to my father (who knows nothing about guns) to me (for safekeeping) both of these guns are numbers matching and in relatively good condition. Neither of these have been removed from their holsters or shot or cleaned in at least 40 years. So it is up to me to take care of them.

I appreciate any help you all can give me with the history, condition, approx value (although i would never sell) etc..

i would like to turn one of these into a shooter so any help would be appreciated, i also have no idea how i should be storing any of these... esp the holsters!! is there any way i can clean the leather/preserve it?

sorry for the text block. here are the guns:

first one is 41 byf SN 1736 s (looks like) was in a brown leather holster w/ g.weiss stamped on back with WaA330 and 1938 on it. it had an alum mag w/ 2246 h and ane eagle with a 63 below it








Second luger is in nicer condition with 41 byf 198 b (looks like)
eagle/135 stamped twice on the side and a swastika eagle.
mag is plastic bottom with fxoo and eagle 37 stamped on it.
holster is black leather with EKSI stamped and WaA101 1939.
takedown tool looks like eagle/666 but its really hard to tell if its 666 or 656.








thanks for the help, sorry about the readability of the post, im pretty excited that my dad gave these to me. I appreciate any help with how to care for these, etc...
