What do I have?

Hello. I am new to this. In cleaning out my grandmothers house we found what I think is a lugar and also a 1911 service pistol. How do I know what the markings are and if they are worth anything. We don't plan on selling them but should I get them insured?
The lugar has this on the top
Waffenfabrik
Mauser
Oberndorfyn
Then on the side there are some numbers
417360
On the other side it has
W-n (then what looks like a snowflake) 17

All the numbers on the different parts that I can see match.
Any idea how old this gun is? What its worth? Do I try to get it cleaned or just leave it alone?
Thanks
