Vdiehl, from your description that definitely is not a Simson. Judging from the color of the ejector my guess is that it is a Mauser reciever onto which someone stuck a Simson toggle. If it was a Simson every part on it would be proofed with the eagle/6 proof. The picture shows the correct acceptance stampings on the right side of the reciever for a Simson Luger. If the seller is demanding a higher price because it is Simson, he is either misinformed or a crook.
