I've used Gemini AI to appraise firearms before and it was pretty impressive. Would ask me to check stamps i different areas I didn't even notice were there.

I’d like to inherit an arsenal of rare collectible firearms. Any tips for me?

That Mauser is WW1 vintage, I have a couple. Looks in good shape. It's probably worth a fair bit, over $700 if it has the German proof stamp on the slide (means they issued it).
Edit
it's a model 1914. Note, it's got some weirdness to it. If you lock the slide back, it will release if you take out, and insert a magazine (empty or full) into it.
You don't want to pull the slide and release without a mag, the way you would on a modern gun. It "works", but causes wear on the slide stop and I think something else. It was meant to stay locked back, so you know you're out.
It has a cool little safety design, which was also later used in the CZ 27 (I got one of those too).
To put the gun on safe, you press that lever behind the trigger down. To move it to Fire, you press that button in.
