Hi, I am having problems identifying my Luger. The toggle is marked S/42 (Mauser Werke). The frame is marked with a double date 1920 (DWM or Erfurt Arsenal) and has matching numbers on all parts including the magazine 4171. There are three eagles (not stick wings) on the right side of the frame with what looks like Af A. IX under their legs. The barrel has a nitro proof. The grips are Bakelite not wood. The gun is in super shape. I took it to a gun show and a Luger dealer told me it was either a military or police pistol and he had no idea on value (he took maybe 10 seconds to look at my Luger). Any help on clarifying what I have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
