The message regarding the serial number, left by John D. is absolutely correct. The total serial number consists of an alpha-numeric. Both the number and the script letter are important (if the letter exists-sometimes there is no letter). It certainly sounds like you have a Military Mauser (S/42). That being the case, the fxo magazines are NOT correct for that pistol. The fxo marked magazines weren't used before 1941.

Like John D., someone else should comment on the holster. But it is not uncommon to have pistols and holsters with different dates.
