german youth luger

I have recently inherited a ww2 luger. It is an S/42dated 1937 over the chamber with all matching numbers (including the clip and grip panels)and a german youth insignia on the right grip panel. The gun show only a little holster wear. Mostly on the end of the barrel. The follower in the mag has very little sign of wear and there is still blueing inside the chamber and excelent bore. This leads me to belive it has not been fired much. My father bought this from a guy that brought it back from ww2. My question is could this gun have been issued to a german youth leader? I would like to find out if this is a rare piece as my late father believed or is it just common S/42.

Any information is greatly appreciated.
