The 41 on the chamber indicates manufacture in 1941. It was made by Mauser. The mismatched toggle train bears the Mauser code 42 and is not a date.
The barrel is a replacement and the front sight has been filed down. Although numbered to the gun, the side plate lacks finish and may be a replacement.
The stamp between the frame serial number and suffix letter is the importer's mark.
It's a shooter and not a collectible but if it shoots as well as it looks, it should be a good one. It's also a military pistol, not commercial.
