Dave, the legal serial number is the one on the frame front, below the barrel. In your case 5859t. You didn't indicate the year stamped over the chamber, if there is one. If the year mark is K, G, 1936 to 1940, 41 or 42, then Mauser is a very good selection for the maker. If the chamber is blank, since you have a mismatch and the only indication of the manufacturer is S/42, then Mauser would be my guess as acceptable. Good Luck!! [img]smile.gif[/img]
