Simson magazine matching
 

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

Howdy,

Is 7673+ E6x2 e6 available?

My Simpson is number 7616. You reference it in your book.

Dick, I am sorry, I must have sold or traded that magazine, I have updated my list above. Hopefully whomever I traded it with sees your note.

Ed, Have you come across a magazine for the 1925 Simson SN: 542 you did own and now I do? Dave L.

I matched up a restamped (but many, many years ago) #542 from Don Hallocks listing and that is the magazine you have now.

In all my years of looking (all of 9 yrs looking seriously, but collecting for 35 years), I have had 2 matched up, and one was wrong period, the 2nd was this simson....
