First Luger (Simson)
 

Got this heading my way. I had a commercial DWM a few years ago but let it go. Looking to get back into Luger collecting. Hopefully this is the first of many. Opinions wanted.

Link to the pistol I got: https://forums.gunboards.com/#/topics/1066205

That goes to the main board.

My guess is that its this one :cool:

I did not like front serial number, but it might be just the camera moved a tiny bit.
I loved the unit marking - I don't have a Simson with a unit marking anymore.
AND the matching magazine is a huge plus - I have only had a couple of Simson's that had matching mags...

And the price was good.

I see it on the serial number list but with no previous details

that is because I had it reported with NO other information the last ten yrs. I have now updated the listing with proofs, acceptance, unit markings

Nice,
now what is " Za.K.s." ?

Don,
I have Simson S/N 8495 with a Z.a.K.5 unit mark that was discussed on the Forum some months ago. If I remember correctly, you or George identified as an administrative branch of the Weimar Army.

I don't know :) I need a unit marked Simson again.
Here is what I have... first is by serial number - then alphabetical so it puts like units together

Must have been George!:p
