Rich:

Welcome to the forum!!! Looks like a nice Mauser G-date S/42 Luger. The "G" represents the year 1935, during which Hitler was continuing secret German rearming in violation of the Versailles treaty. The "G" code kept the date secret.

I don't specialize in late WWII/Nazi lugers, but am certain some of the experts here will be able to tell you if it is early, mid or late acceptance marks which may affect the value.

What is the full serial #, which should be on the front of the frame below the barrel and above the front of the trigger guard. It likely has one of the script letters "a" through "f" below it that we may need as well for further evaluation.

Thanks!!!
