Annual Fee
 

Paid my annual fee via Paypal for this site today ($30, but any amount is ok)...

I forget how many friends I've made, so figure that $2.50 a month is cheap to drop every now and then ;)

Ed,
Thanks for jogging my memory. The knowledge gained from this forum is priceless. My well intentioned plans to send a contribution had been put on a back burner. Sometimes a gentle reminder is just what we need. Mine is on the way via Paypal. Happy holidays to all of the forum members. Many thanks to all of the very knowledgeable members who so unselfishly share their hard gained knowledge and experience. It is appreciated.
Best Regards,
Bill McGrevin

Dear Mr. Ed,

Yes, thank you for the reminder. My contribution went out by PayPal this morning. Thank you for your continuing support, Ed, and all the best to you and your family this Christmas.

Just after I bought my first Luger in 2002 I found this forum. Many thanks to all the generous support I have received in the steep learning curve from members hereof. And, special thanks to John D. for maintaining such a well-conceived and well-oiled operation.

The information on the forum has a value in excess of $30.00.

I wish the forum had been around 35 years ago.

agreed, but then I would have been 10 years old and didn't make enough on my paper route to buy lugers! ~grinning~~ :D


:)

John, keep up the good work, fantastic job!

Hey Ed!

Thanks for calling!!! Sorry I've been difficult to reach over the past months - but three jobs is killing me. Anyway - GREAT LOOKING SIMSON!!!!

Do a photo thread on it when you get the chance! I'd love to see a detail write-up, and I'm guessing I'm not alone..!

Best to you!

John

this is probably the most interesting part, does not match the gun, but is a simson police magazine (see the II), unsure what the S means;

Ed, Your S coded mag probably came in a late Simson with the S code toggle. TH

Thanks tom, I have seen a few "S" in our simson database, not sure of the meaning yet, if it was for Simson ( S ) marked toggle, then it should be on every S toggle gun, wouldn't it? So being on a few makes me think that maybe it IS a rework, as my database also shows that virtually all the police guns are marked with certain acceptance and in the "a" suffixes!

So, I am thinking, the S is a rework of their guns or certain parts...


Ed

Mr Ed, according to Costanzo, page 109, Evolution of eagles, he gives the following data for that S/E/6. "1934 Simson contracted Schmeisser to produce a ultra high quality, stainless steel, nickel plated magazine for commercial sales. The letter "S" in proof denotes a Simson and Co. salesman's sample of the 1935 commercial sales line. Note: One of a kind, in autor's collection" Well, well, seems like you have a magazine from the collection of ole Sam hisself, congrats, that's a nice find.

That would be nice :)


But, somehow I think my theory is closer to the truth :D

Possibly, but your theory is a whole lot less valuable!!

I like your new patch Herb.


Most of the ones I wore were fairly boring ;)

Thanks, I found several of them but thought this one was the best, I'll probably change it now and then as the mood hits me. This one looks like it has a Great Dane rather than a horse on it, that is the main difference, the depiction of the horses head.

Ed Thanks for the reminder . Sending to John.

I contributed my pittance to the cause. :rolleyes:



:cheers: Ron

Hmmm.....

I'm just home from work - yes it is Christmas Eve....
