Default Admiral Nimitz personal side arms

Hello everyone. I am very new to the forum but have had a love for lugers for many years. I am looking for a shooter for now until I save up a few grand for a beauty. Anyways thought you guys might enjoy these.

I recently got out of the navy and during my time I did alot of OJT with the Gunnersmates. locked up in the armory aboard the USS Nimitz is Chestors side arms. They are only brought out for ceremonial purposes now such as changing of command for the Captain.

Supposedly you can look up old pictures and see them on his side. Also was told they are estimated to be worth 500k each. Both of these things were told to me by sailors so take them with a grain of salt

Anyways when the ship gets decom they will end up in a museum for all to see most likely. regardless it was an amazing experience to hold a 5 star admirals guns in my hand that helped win the war.

sorry for pic quality, my phone was a potato back then.
