I had some problems finding appropriate pictures to show the trend on the Simson safety markings. The focus is on the â??Gâ? offset as compared to the â??Eâ?:
The exact transition point is uncertain but based on pictures in the â??Simson Lugerâ? book. The lower set â??Gâ? seems to be continuous through about SN 3130 or the end of 1927 production.
After that the higher set â??Gâ? become predominate until the end of production.
SN 2014 shows the lower set â??Gâ? SN 4004 the Higher set â??Gâ?
Below is a series of Simson safeties, the first one is of the lower variety all others the Higher set type.
This is all just theory, but interesting research none the less
Enjoy
