Luger experts needed

I am no expert, but looks like a p08 s/42, serial number 8429. There should be a date stamped into the top near the barrel.

mauser production code with krieghoff proofs, cool link.
https://www.germandaggers.com/Gallery/GLP.php shows a bunch of markings that might help figure something? The Spandau Arsenal Military rework looks close, but I don't know if that is the SU38 or the double wings stamping
This post https://www.lugerforums.com/threads/gesichert-luger.132273/ has the S/42 in common with yours. I'll bet you'll find more expertise over there than here.
Good luck on your search, make sure you post back what you find out! Interesting stuff, but I'm out of time.

That appears to be a 1935 G date Luger. We need a few more pictures in good natural light. Condition, number matching and markings are key to the value of any Luger. There are many variations and each one has an impact on value. Can you post a picture of the top of the receiver? Numbers on the barrel? Does it have a magazine?
The W154 & S92 are Army Inspector acceptance stamps.

The barrel should be numbers matching so it has been replaced. Magazine has been renumbered. Finish is poor.
While G date Lugers can be very valuable ($2,500 to $4,000), they need to be all matching and a high percentage of original finish. I would classify this one as shooter grade. What are you looking to do with it?
