Chris,
First, as others have said it is really difficult, if not impossible to comment without pictures.
But, assuming you know it is a Mauser made Luger because it has a Mauser Banner on the center link and the data on the caliber and barrel length are correct, my SWAG is that it a part of the limited s-series. The Eagle N means it was made after 1940.
1. We know Mauser made some pistols for the Swiss. Some have Crown N and some Eagle Ns which is the Oberndorf Proof house. Some have the Berner Prob as well.
2. There are only a few known s-block Banners and all that I am aware of came out of Switzerland.
Therefore, my SWAG is that this might be a Mauser Banner Commercial made for the Swiss market some time after 1940. I am not aware that we have Mauser production records for the quantity made but I suspect that there were not many. The s-block is an odd lot and contains a mixture of markings and parts leaving one to believe that they were made of parts laying around Oberndorf and not used up by the military.
Again just a SWAG.
