I was just reading in Kenyons book "Lugers at Random" The attached PDF in this thread noted a proof mark 46. If the toggle had a "42" on it, I think that would go with the rest. Code "42" were made from 1939 - 1940, so he is in that ballpark. SN range can be 1 to 5 digits with or without a letter. And there were up to 50,000 or more manufactured. He mentioned that the grips are plastic in the PDF and kenyons book mentioned that code "42" had either walnut or plastic grips.
Probably miss match toggle and magazine.
I'd load it up and shot the HELL out it! That's just me though.
