Stan,
Welcome to the world of Lugers, the regulars here have a wealth of information - I'm still a novice. (I do have two byf 42 Lugers similar to yours though)
42 over the chamber behind the barrel means that it was produced in 1942, the last year of byf (Mauser) Luger production. Pictures would be nice, does it have black bakelite grips or wooden ones? What does the magazine look like, any markings present there?
Good luck!
Regards,
Balder
