If you mean your gun is shiny silver then it's been nickel or chrome plated, not made of stainless steel.
Please post a photo if you are able to aid in determining the value and vintage of your Luger.

Welcome to the forum, I moved this from the Krieghoff part of the forum to the New Collector area.

S/42 was the code of the Mauser factory

I assume the "m" marking is the suffix, so that is just under the number 3159?

You have to give a lot more information, plus pictures to determine much more than we've given you.
