I'm new to this forum. My grandfather brought back a few weapons during his tour in Southern France during world war II.
The first is the most rare which is a 1937 s/42 Luger that has matching serial numbers and has a blue tint to it which I read makes it more rare. How much is this worth?
The other is a German 8mm full length Mauser. I know it is German because it has swastikas stamped in different areas on the receiver. The wood is in good condition with absolutely no rust or damage. How much is this worth?
The next is a British 308 Lee Enfield. Not sure what model but the wood is in condition with no rust of damage. Whats this worth?
The last I am not sure what type of weapon it is. Its a 9mm handgun that looks like a 1911 .45 but its not. It has swastikas stamped on it as well. It also has what looks like an eagle stamped on it with straight wings. Anyone know what this is? Someone once told me it was a handgun built in Poland after the Germans invaded it. Does this sound correct????
Id appreciate any kind of help as these weapons have been just sitting in my safe. My father handed them down to me from my grandfather. Remember all of these weapons were collected as trophies by my grandfather in southern france during the war. These were not purchased afterwards and are the original weapons, not replicas. Thank you for you help!!!!!
P.S. I dont plan on selling any of these weapons because I myself are a collector. I just want to know if I should put these in a maximum security safe.
