Frank, the P block of the 41-42 luger 500 are reported.
The letter suffix on this Luger is more a P than an-N from the letters photos provided, ....I think.
It seems that the P suffix was divided by the 41-42 and the 41-byf Lugers.

Alf, the 41/42 Lugers were produced during the month of January 1941. The production was pretty well completed at about 5000o.

If you are looking at the Hallock/Kant Book on suffix nomenclature, there are a number of errors.

Of course, you can believe what you wish, but I can't believe there were 500 41/42 Lugers in the P-Block.

Frank, What you say may be true, myself found a couple of issues that I do not agree about them.
Now back to my Luger, if the letter stamps that were stamped during the 41-42 Luger production were what the book display, then I am sure that the letter suffix on this Luger is not an N, is more like the P with a short stem. For sure is, that the frame of this Luger is the late Mauser frame, because it has the P08 mark on the left side. The gun is all matching, the grips are marked SE655 on both. I am sure that this Luger is correct, but if it is in the N or P that is what I am trying to find out. Thanks for your output.
Alf.
