Hi, and welcome to the forum.

Your "G" date Luger was made by Mauser in 1935 in Oberndorf, Germany. The "G" was a concealment of the date of manufacture.

S/42 is Mauser's concealment code.

There is probably a letter under the "6900" serial number digits on the front of the frame above the trigger guard. The suffix letter is part of the serial number also. The upside down capital "T" could be a script "L".

The E/63 and B/92 are inspection and acceptance marks when the Luger was military accepted.

If the holster is all original, the "M" mark would indicate it is a marine issued holster. Pictures are needed. Are there any numbers on the rear of the Luger's grip strap?
