Hello everyone. I am having some difficulty trying to figure this out. Is this a Mauser Code 42? Or how would I list this on the auction side? Also what I can not determine is the maker? I took pictures of all of the stampings I could find. I hoping someone could help. I do have a magazine for it, however the bottom part is missing so I could not determine if it was a matching magazine. Other than that, the entire gun including grips match. Any estimate value would also be appreciated, I know the prices vary greatly for these. Thank you kindly, Brett.

All matching numbers would be a plus but condition kills value. Sorry I can't suggest a value. A listing with a low starting bid and no reserve should bring you top price.
Unless you can show me photos proving otherwise, I would assume that the bore & breech face are also pitted. If that is the case, the gun is unsafe to fire, & beyond economical restoration, worth around $200 for parts.
Not that I disagree with p3skyking; there will always be inexperienced folks who overpay for guns with "problems".

Wow of course at one time that was a new pistol .It looked like it survived without ever having a broken part . However the condition is poor to very poor . Looks like it was stored for many years in a damp holster[V]I would not worry about the magazine but what does the inside look like .Barrel Bore. does it actually Function. In this case .RICK on Pawn Stars is correct if it shoots it is worth more. If not I don't see more than 2 or 3 hundred dollars.
