Question Help needed with two WWII lugers?

Need help with two lugers, that I might be interested in buying out of an estate that is coming up for sale. The first is a 1937 S/42 all matching numbers no import marks, veteran bring back with period holster. I would say the finish is 80%. I would like to know what this would be worth. This is the gun in the first two pics.

The second gun is a byf 41 it is import marked La plata, MD I think it might be a russian capture, it appears to have a darker finish. All serial numbers appear to match, it does not have X through serial numbers like some russian captures do. It also has a wwii holster. I would like an idea of value on this gun on also. This is the gun in last two pics. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Robert

2 STUPID Questions

1. How do you Remove a photo from a thread post?
2. How do you remove a photo from your Album?

Question Spent clips and magazines. Pick them up, or drop and go?

I’ve had this silly question brewing in my mind for a while, so I figured this would be a good place to ask it.

I figure this would be situational…

Say a soldier is participating in an assault during World War II… after said soldier expends the entire load of bullets within the clip or magazine of his/her weapon, does he take the time to collect the clips and magazines and fumble with putting them back into pouches/ bandoliers, or would they just reload, drop the spent clip or magazine, and continue fighting?

I would imagine that soldiers would take the time to save magazines, as they are more complex in design, more expensive to produce, and in general probably harder to come by… Still, stuffing a magazine back into an ammo pouch while trying to reload a weapon/ returning fire/ being under enemy fire must have been a pain in the butt. Beyond that, it must have SUCKED to try to remember which magazines in your pouches were full or empty while under fire… I can imagine that some unlucky souls grabbed empty magazines at the worst possible time and met their end.

I can understand just dropping clips… especially the ones for the M1 Garand considering how they flew out of the rifle. Those clips must have been so hard to find among rubble and debris on the battlefield…

Thanks for your time and consideration!

ID a German - Austiran (?) Belt Buckle?

Hello Folks -

Not sure what time period or exactly who this roundel may have belonged to. Looks quite nicely made though and the leaves surrounding the scene look German/Austrian.

Thanks for any help!
- Mike
