cnv, thanks for the information. The serial number is 1284o and it was completed in January 1941. The next 1941 lugers were called 41 byf. The byf was located in the same position as the "42" on your pistol. There were about 12,000 of your type pistol produced.

Now the bad news. The magazines you have, while numbered to your pistol, are NOT correct. These magazines have been renumberd to match the numerical part of the serial number. The original magazines would be numbered 1284, with an "O" beneath it, and a "+" sign for the second or spare magazine.

It is difficult to give you more monetary information without many and more detailed pictures.

From the pictures you show, it appears to be a decent pistol.
