Nazi Markings/Stampings on Lugers

I've done some search and reading can someone please correct me if I am wrong. Only byf 41, 42 will have Eagle/swastika firing proof on them?

If so I can now narrow down my search to get my first Third Reich Luger.

Vernon, you are almost correct. The swastika firing proof is located on later 1939, all 1940, 41 Code 42, 41 byf and 42 byf Military Mauser Lugers.
