Definitely Wehrmacht. BYF is the manufacturing code for Mauser in 1940 to 1942. The 42 over the chamber is the year of production. If there is a cursive script character under the serial number on the front of the frame above the trigger guard that is the production series suffix and is part of the guns serial number.
Nice gun. I also recommend that you not shoot this specimen. Welcome to the Lugerforum
