Simson 'S' Code, $9,000

yes, I agree Lyn. I do think most Simson go for less than that, but I am okay if they start rising in value

To me it seems odd that Krieghoffs go for more money than a Simson, as the Simson's are significantly scarcer by production numbers, unless I am misinformed.

No, you are correct - about a 1,000 less

However;

a. DWM purchased HK's go for a pretty penny
b. Simson's while actually a small contract the 'newest' ones were built several years before HK production and some 10 yrs earlier, thus more chance of being 'worn looking'
c. Simson did a lot of refurbishing, such as the 4,000+ serial number luger sold recently on Morphys, so it tricks folks into thinking there were more manufactured simson then really were.
d. Marketing by dealers, early dealers pushed how rare they were (and they did simson also) and this helped
