There were an estimated 85,500 1939-42 Lugers produced. So, your father's wouldn't fall into the rare catagory. However, it is not known how many have survived intact.

The Eagle over 63, are proof/acceptance marks. Variations of Eagles over numbers, or Crowns over letters(WWI) will be found on all military Lugers. The last one is an Eagle over a Swaztika called a test proof. The same mark is stamped on the barrel.
