My mother's husband has no one on his side to pass these down to so the have come to me.

Story is that they were his grandfather's WWI bring backs.

The Luger is marked 1917

According to colt the 1911 is from 1918.

He made a display box out of them in highschool and the school made him remove the firing pins so we have some work to do to get them shooting but this will be a great project for my son's and I 

I know nothing about l lugers so have to do some reading

Awesome!

What is it with all of these "some one gave me a 1911" threads lately.  No one give me 1911's.

the sad thing is that the Luger's firing pin would have been stamped with the last two digits of the pistol. I hope they saved the firing pin. If not that will hurt the value of the pistol.

My buddy's step dad recently said "Hey, I hear you like guns, I do too!  Do you have a 1911?"

And gave him a friggin 1943 Remington Rand

Yeah too bad he didn't still have them. 

the goal is to get them shooting as a project with my sons (the oldest wants the 1911 and the youngest wants the luger) and then pass them down.

Yep 3 two tone mags, they are not in as good of shape as the gun, but should clean up nicely

the only cleaning should be a rubdown with oil
