Simson magazine matching

Edward Tinker · 01-16-2007, 05:03 PM

I have been collecting Simson information for the last ten years; in addition, I have been collecting Simson pistols, magazines and tools.

I will list my wants, and then magazines that I own. I am willing to trade for a like magazine, possibly sell, but ONLY if it matches a Simson luger you actually own. I'd like some kind of proof, as it has taken me a long time to pick these up. Although not as costly as Krieghoff magazines, a Simson magazine is almost always over $150 - $300 each. A Simson magazine to be completely correct should have, two eagle 6's and an eagle 6 on the spine and generally is nickle. If they have one eagle 6, then I believe it is a rework or armorer replacement. NOTE: There are about 1/5th with wood bottoms, and this appears totally correct, I believe they ran out and used what they had.

Legend:
Eagle 6 = E6 x2 or x1
Spine eagle 6 = e6

I have the following, will try to get more precise;
1575
3192
4699
6423
8734
9145
9601
blank base one eagle 6 blued body
874a
89397

eagle 46's
3874
4183
5197
5292

I own these Simson - so looking for early mags
