early and late 1940 / 42's or?

remember, they made lugers for over 50 years, with manufacturers by Erfurt, DWM (ww1 and earlier), DWM after WW1, Simson weimar era, Krieghoff and then same time period Mauser. Mauser is what I assume you are talking about, but my point is, 42 code spans more than one year, unless you mean, 42 as the year. 42's were made in 1939, 1940 and 41 marked lugers (I looked it up), while S/42 were made earlier...

Then, are you willing to accept factory correct "armorer" replacement marked with either eagle 655 or S/42 (Frank, please correct me if I am saying stupid things again, i.e. if E/655 and S/42 stamped would be incorrect for his year).
