First Luger (Simson)

daytonlawvol · 12-22-2018, 10:44 PM

Got this heading my way. I had a commercial DWM a few years ago but let it go. Looking to get back into Luger collecting. Hopefully this is the first of many. Opinions wanted.

That goes to the main board.

My guess is that its this one

I did not like front serial number, but it might be just the camera moved a tiny bit.
I loved the unit marking - I don't have a Simson with a unit marking anymore.
AND the matching magazine is a huge plus - I have only had a couple of Simson's that had matching mags...

And the price was good.

I see it on the serial number list but with no previous details

that is because I had it reported with NO other information the last ten yrs. I have now updated the listing with proofs, acceptance, unit markings

Nice,
now what is " Za.K.s." ?

Don,
I have Simson S/N 8495 with a Z.a.K.5 unit mark that was discussed on the Forum some months ago. If I remember correctly, you or George identified as an administrative branch of the Weimar Army.

I don't know

I need a unit marked Simson again.
Here is what I have... first is by serial number - then alphabetical so it puts like units together
