The K date was a code used by the German military to signify 1934 production(they were hiding the fact that they were re-arming,hence the date codes...k=1934...g=1935)I do not know why the s/42 is different than later models...maybe thats just the way they made them then??...there were about 10,000 produced...fairly rare and collectible as they were the starting point of Mausers military Luger production...
