Hi George, your 1940, code 42 Mauser Luger, S/N 6617c was completed about April 1940. All 1940 Military Mauser Lugers were marked with an eagle-over-655 on the right side of the receiver. These are intermediate and final inspection marks also known as Waffenamt (Weapon Office) Marks. To the right of these marks is the eagle-over-swastika or proof marks. Hope this helps!
