    I Googled "luger s42 1939". It looks to have been made by Mauser.

    This thread needs pics!

    Grumpy, I would agree with ltorlo64. If your P.08 Luger is marked S/42 then it was made by Mauser in Obendorf, Germany. The link below shows pictures of a S/42 from 1939. Yours should look very similar.

    Hope this helps!
