If all numbers match (the numbers of the last two are on many parts on the insde).
Overall, it sounds like more of a collector piece than a shooter. If you shoot her and damage a part you drop the value several hundred dollars.
Can you tell if it has been reblued, that would be a totally different matter, then it would be a shooter instead of a collector piece.
Can you post clear photos of it on the forum?
A quick synopsis, the 42 means it was made by Mauser, in the year 1939.
Overall it sounds very nice.
