Hi, it looks really good. S/42 means it was made by Mauser, between 1936 to 1940 and it has the military proof mark, so it's not a civilian model. I am sure others will post more info for you.

Tom,
Were magazines matched to the gun at the time of manufacture?
Thanks!

yep but to find a gun with full matching numbers including magazine is very hard and would cost a hell of a lot

Appears to be a nice, matching luger. I have not seen any pictures of the full serial number, specifically the letter suffix. Look on the front of the frame under the barrel. BTW. One of the magazines appears to have the upper three digits the same as the other, but the 0 is missing in the least significant digit. While a huge coincidence, the magazines are very different, one nicked and one blued, different acceptance marks and one has a V letter suffix, while the other doesn't.
