My father recently died, and to pay off his bills we need to start selling off his gun collection. We've got a reputable dealer we know we can trust, but our biggest asset and worry is a WWII Luger that my great-grandfather took off of a Nazi officer. The finish is original and in great shape, and this is what my mom said about the markings, history, and accoutrements:

Nazi gun and holster that Irvin took off a Nazi officer that he had captured in Berlin (he was with the us army group that Russia handed over to
the US in the first day or so after the soviets took the capital)

Black leather holster containing gun and clip.
Stamped on the holster are the initials jme and the nazi eagle with a ball/globe in its talons with the swastika in it (I'll call it the nazi stamp).
Stamped on the upper right side of the holster is P 0 8

The Gun (Was told it was disabled befire Irvin brought it back)

the slide that cocks the gun has a crown stamped on it with 42 FRFURT below it

Left side of gun has 6888 stamped on it a 37 and the words Gesichert

Right side of gun has 3 nazi stamps...one small and two tiny stamps side by
sde with the number 135 stamped under the 2 tiny stamps.

ALso taken from the Nazi officer was an Iron Cross with 1939 stamped on the
front and 1813 stamped on the back; as well as various ribbons, lapels pins,
and a red arm band with a swastika on it.

Please if anyone could tell me what we have I will worship the ground you walk on for saving our butts! If anyone has an idea of what this is worth, that would also be appreciated too. We do have an interested buyer; we've just got to name a price. We just don't know a damn thing about guns.
