As Mark mentions, "S/42" is the military concealment code used for parts manufactured by Mauser.

It would seam that at some point this beautiful E/N proofed commercial police pistol found it's way to a military armorer for a barrel replacement. (See below for details from Tom and Jan... Factory original most likely...)

Unique and interesting!

Is there a mark of some type (perhaps a small "x") on the base of the frame shown below the magazine in your 5th photo?
