Ram,
what you have is a 1938 S/42 German Military Mauser. From the stamping on the barrel, and left side, its appears that at sometime in its history went through the UK. Those stamping look like British Proof marks.( its hard to tell from the photos)

The grips have been altered, by someone who inlayed the Nazis symbol into the wood and have thus ruined the grips.

I would suggest you get a replacement set from Hugh or Luger Doc otherwise it looks like a nice piece with some history behind it.

Jim
