Any recommendation on where to sell WWII Luger and memorabilia ?

Cliff notes Backstory..

My great uncle was stationed in Africa in the tank division battling Rommel throughout the desert when they came across a small German patrol. My uncle shot and killed the German officer standing in a Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251 half track. He took his gun, holster, all his Nazi medals and ammunition and buried it in the desert to retrieve it later.
He brought it home after the war and has been in my family ever since.

Right here... I would purchase the entire group and/or put you in touch with some of my true collector buddies... None of anything that I own is ever for re-sale.
Having the story with the pieces will allow me or another to keep the story together for the future.. and I would love have and documents these pieces.

you can contact me at: the1943museum@yahoo.com

Answering everyone else.

I have not fired the cz27 yet but I plan too... I have not had time for the range.

I am trying to stockpile .32 auto ammo because I have 2 weapons now that fire it and I anticipate 4 when I get a Walther PPK and an Italian 1934 Beretta... But .32 auto is pretty high right now.

also... the link to the bombardier class of '43 does not work for me... I hope to research it as soon as I can.

And you’re trying to sell it? Or are you referring to a different gun?

As I type this I’m at my model desk working on a Sd.kfz 251/22 Ausf. D
