S42 is the code for mauser, which is a military marking, in addition, the 1938 was for military also. the eagle 63 is a the army acceptance.


the military (nor commericial banner lugers) were never made in nickle.

I would pick up a nickle luger and figure it is worth $550 or so as a shooter piece.
