What do I have

Hi,

You have a WW2 Luger made by Mauser. It was made in 1939, and the code for Mauser was S/42. The serial number is found on the frame under the barrel and has a letter suffix with it also, so should read 6311 N,O,P, or Q most likely. The first two marks on the right side are army acceptance marks of Eagle 63, Eagle 63, and the third marking is the test proof, which is also found on the right side of the barrel and the left side of the breech block. All Mauser Military models had acceptance marks and test marks, but they were different eagles and numbers depending on the date of manufacture.
