Looks like all 3 are prohibited pistols.

Ticks me off with the Luger. I've always wanted one. They are a very nice pistol. The long barreled models just don't look right.

The Luger might be worth a fair amount. The problem is you need a lot of research and proof to tell if it's worth a lot or not much.

Did this "old timer" say where the Luger came from? He didn't have a German accent did he? Or on the other side, perhaps he was part of a tank crew? Some Lugers got into the country after tank crews captured German officers. Surprisingly enough the Officers always threw the firearm into the bushes and at the time of capture it was never found.
