and I agree with Alanint, the grips are not original German grips. Reproductions. Coarse checkering (which is great while shooting since you are not risking original grips), but I have always found that checkering pattern to be pretty ugly... but that is just my $0.02

In between S/42 and BYF codes there is the 42 code used in part of 1939; 1940 and early 1941 (with chamber date 41)

I was rather sure the grips were repo's as the magazine . since it is a shooter which I am well pleased with , since most of the times the mismatched pistols do not function well. looks like I got a good one . thanks for you help
