Default Estate value for two lugers

I am attempting to assist a friend (the executor) in valuing several firearms for an estate. It is not decided whether the firearms will be sold for the estate but the heirs need a value estimate.

I would appreciate any helpful information anyone could provide from these pictures. I do not have immediate access to them so for instance I have not disassembled to check grip serial #s, or any internal markings etc.

Apologies for busy picture backgrounds as well, it was meant to give me pics for looking up markings but I got as far as I could on understanding
I will upload more of the pics directly but have to convert from heic to jpeg first sorry will get there.

The first seems to be undated commercial DWM.

I'm not confident that this one can be easily valued by just running an auction sale on Gunbroker.
It has a wood magazine plate, stock lugs.
Serial #s appears to be matching but haven't checked grips.
Has a holster marked 1915.
Chip in the grip near the safety.
The chambering is 7.65mm.
Serial # subscript 'L'.
Seems to me it has many similarities to this one for sale on gunbroker but its undated.

The two pistols have three magazines. One wood plate, one aluminum plate, one plastic plate. I'm not certain what belongs to what, but the wood seems to be appropriate to the DWM at least.

The second is a P.08.

Serial #s are not all matching but some do.
Chambering is 9mm.
I believe this one to be lower value, perhaps at $900-$1000 and if sold by auction website such as Gunbroker would value it appropriately.

Hoping to improve my advice for the estate with more input. I'm not a Luger owner, or looking to be (no offense intended, I just focus elsewhere).

And thank you for your time. I've already found the FAQ document and DWM database and other files here valuable in just trying to do my best alone for the family here.
