$800 is a good price for a properly functioning shooter. It is a parts gun made up from alot of different and somewhat interesting stuff.

Random observations:

Your S/42 grip would have been an armorer's replacement made for Mauser.

The firing pin is fluted, and probably a Mauser pin.

Were the forward two firing proofs removed from the receiver right side? They look like they were originally Erfurt. It could well be a leftover Erfurt receiver that was never assembled into a complete gun during WW-I... The Germans never wasted anything, and that would include gun parts.

Looks like someone overstamped the magazine acceptance stamp inspector numbe,r which was probably originally "63". A pre- WW-II war Mauser magazine.

Side plate was likely from a commercial Luger.

Probably originally an Erfurt toggle train, with the center toggle ground down.

i'm not familiar with the E/33 inspector who's mark is on the barrel.

Is it a Navy acceptance / proof mark on the Breech Block?

The receiver and side plate were renumbered at some point.
