While not particularly rare, your S/42 coded Luger is collectable. It is uncommon to find them with their original numbered magazine, which is why it's that much more valuable.
1937 is, as I mentioned, a transition year. For that reason, there are several sub-variations of proof and acceptance markings and type of finish. This could make a specific sub-variation more valuable to a collector that wanted that one.
If you post your C-96 here, there are some experts on this firearm that frequent this forum.

is it alright to post here the c96? i didn't see an appropriate subforum, so i figured discussion was limited to the topic titles. i will need to photograph it before posting as well.
