Default My fathers old Lugar Parts

Hi Guys I am new to this forum. Thank you
My father recently passed away and owned a 1917 Artillery Lugar took from a captured german in WW2. We cleaning out his boxes I found what seems to be old lugar parts. I am attaching photo. The bolt has an engraving I cannot make out like DWC the number 88 is stamped on the other pieces.
Does anyone on the forum need these pieces and can anyone give me a fair evaluation of their description and value. The do not seem to be the same as the artillery lugar pieces. Any advice on what I should do with these pieces would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob51

Before you do anything, check and see if any of the numbers on the parts are the same as the last two digits of your Luger's serial number. If they are, do not get rid of them, they would be original parts and if so, should remain with the gun. The lack of original parts on a Luger can reduce the value 50 percent. BTW, no photo

The scroll trademark is that of Deutsche Waffen-und Munitionsfabriken, the famous "DWM".

The artillery piece has the engraving ERFURT under a crown and the numbers all match with 28. The random pieces have the number 88 and the bolt has 88 and 100

Thanks Bob51

Your assemblage of parts is worth in the neighborhood of $200 to $250 to the right person. They should be offered for sale on one of the Luger forums.
