Inherited 30 caliber Luger - Help with Markings and Origin

Thanks for the feedback. I felt that having the gun professionally cleaned (ie someone that had some level of experience cleaning Lugers, rather than me trying to monkey my way through it) would be ok. If I then chose to fire the weapon, at most I'd be safe, at least the gun would be cleaner.

Thanks for the input on the ammunition and the holster. I have several 7.65 rounds (actually .30 stamped) which I would use if I decided to fire it. Not sure if there us a way to get new .30 cartridges.

On value, I'm have no idea what the gun would be worth. To me it's a reminder of my grandparents and thier two lineages. So the value to me is solely sentimental. Lots of neat "greatest generation" stories.
