1940 Luger: Was habe ich???

Your Luger is a Mauser made gun S/42,42 & byf are all codes for Mauser. Your grips are Russian mfg. and are not correct for the gun. The Nickel plating is definatly post WWII. Lugers were numbered 1-9,9999 and a-z although they omitted certain letters. The mag could be the correct type, but I would have to check some of the reference books to be sure.
As to value I would say in the $400-550 range. Basically it is a valued as a shooter only.
