Welcome to the forum. It's a nice luger. If all matching and in original finish it would be considered collectible.

The "42" on the toggle is Mauser's concealment code, not a date.

These were hand fit, and well crafted in 1939 when it was produced.

This pistol has been fired (it did serve in war) and that is what the rubbing likely reflects. If it cycles smoothly it's likely just tight fitting.
