David,
Again, welcome to the forum. As a word of advice; it is always better to let actual photographs do the talking. They are essential to best tap the information available to you here. Plus, we all like to see examples of our favorite collectibles that are owned by others
You say the the pistol is a G-date S/42. Then we have a puzzle. G-dates were only produced in the a to f suffix range. The first date to use the u block was dated 1937 on the chamber. Now it could be that the top of the "a" was polished off during rebluing as the bottoms of the scriptic "a" and "u" are similar.
As far as caliber is concerned, all Heereswaffenamt ordered Model P.08s were 9mm Parabellum.
Again welcome to the Forum
John
