Don,
In the post WWI German Republic plans were made to hide future military manufacturing. In 1925 an alphabet list was developed for indicating the year of acceptance. The K date Luger was the first year that list was applied in 1934. The Luger toggle in 1934 used a S/42 for identifying the type weapon (S) and the manufacturer (42 -Mauser). I could not quickly locate my source for more detail but the S indicates pistols, rifles and machine guns.
