Jon, welcome to the forum

here is some info, but you can do searches on the forum (see the FAQ) in the new collector area, etc

42 is the year - byf is Mauser

the serial number on the front of the frame many times has a letter (suffix) and on all small parts there is the last two of the serial number

yes- serial numbers changed every 10,000 - so 1, 2, 3, 4, then 9999 then 1a, 2b, etc pictures would be good to see what it says as a suffix

yes, your locking lever spring is broken or worn

wood grips or black plastic?
