oh, come on, listen to this description;

There is so much wrong in that description..... It is dated 1920, so where does the 1927 come from?

Simson (don't know what a Simpson is?) didn't make any of the sneaks....

And the sneaks were made later than 1920, later than 1927 :)

The description that it is the german police force is a good quote ;)

Picky, picky. :cheers:

At this moment the seller, "jackcounty", has 387 items listed and not one bid. It is a shame that Gunbroker.com allows them to clutter up their site.

The seller is Jackson Armory, in Dallas ..I have dealt with them and bought some stuff. Got a GREAT buy on an AEG snail drum not too long ago cause they had no idea what they had.
I think they have a ton of stuff and are not always that knowledgeable about it all which doesn't surprise me. Anyone with that much inventory can't know it all.
They had a bunch of fake snail drums for sale..on this Forum they found out they were fake and pulled them.
Not bad folks from what I can tell...take a look at what they have, you might find a bargain like I did!

Maybe its a "sneak" because the DWM has been either scrubbed off the toggle or a replacement blank link has been used??
:)

The left grip is also a replacement since it shows no cut out for the magazine safety.

If it's a "Simpson" :D , why does the tag say "Rare Mauser Mfg Sneak Luger WaA66"???

He does admit the mag doesn't match... :rolleyes:

I like the blank toggle... ;)

(I wonder if the people at Simpson Collector Firearms know that Jackson Armory is selling their Lugers???) :roflmao:

I suspect that it is a 29 DWM or a late DWM Alphabet Commercial that somehow got a 1920 property stamp applied to it. Note the halo around the stamp. I have run across some cases where the 1920 stamp was used much later in the 20s but I can't recall a case with a Landjägerei pistol.

I have asked the seller for the letter suffix to try to help figure this out but have not yet received a reply.

I have given up commenting on ridiculous statements by sellers regarding police weapons. There are too many of them! :surr:

Found one! :thumbup:

Sneaky! :)

Why, That there is a shoor-fine Purty Pistola!! Them Simpsons knew how to make good-uns!

Alphabet Commercial made for the Riff contract (blank toggle, never delivered). WaA66 army acceptance, no commercial proof, proper for police guns of this type. Rebarrelled; rebarrel proofing too indistinct in these photos to identify. Serial# suffix will be s, t, or u (very slight possibility of r). Several reported in this range with 1920 property mark, one reported also marked to Landjägerei.

--Dwight

Seller confirms "u" suffix.

For anyone recording data (Dwight?), note that seller has corrected the serial number of this gun to 2761u.
