That is a nice looking Luger, but the dated 42 code guns are fairly common. By that time, they were using a tank blue rather than the old rust blue, so those pistols are darker than the older guns. You say there is no letter, but I believe that that funny mark under the serial number is the letter.
The toggle marking is the 42 code for Mauser. They also used S/42 and (later) byf.
It is hard to tell from a picture, but it sounds like a nice gun and not an inexpensive shooter. A pic of the front of the grip frame would help if you can get a closeup.
Gesichert literally means "made safe" so the safety is on when the word is exposed.
