New "old" man with lots of questions.

Hey guys. My first post here. A little background before my questions. I have been picked by an old, as in elderly, friend of many years. We met when I worked as a gun smith/shooting instructor at a local indoor range here in Mt. Pleasant, SC. We became fast friends.
He has decided to thin out his huge collection of arms and has picked me to do the selling. I am not getting any funds from this so far and don't know it I will, but he needs the bucks and his sons don't really care about "guns".
Part of the collection is 15 Luger's, maybe be more hidden. He got most all of these when he was a student at a local vocational school in Charleston SC after WWII. Fro the most part these came off ships bringing home U.S.G.I.'s after the war. If they were caught with any weapons without the proper papers they were"relieved" of them. All weapons were thrown in a crate to be dumped at sea, or some other unpleasant end.
He and some friends were told by the dock workers they could buy them for next to nothing. Which he and others did and the dock workers got beer money.

I am going to try my first time here to post pics and ask questions.
BTW, if this is breaking any rules doing this, knowing I am planning to sell these and the others, please let me know and I delete everything and go else where. Rules is rules . I don't know how many pics I can add at one time so I'll post the 3 I have in another post here.

This is a very SMALL area of the whole collection showing the Lugers less the three I brought with me to sell. There are two to the right out of the pic with the longer barrels and tangent rear sights.
