Sounds good. simson's were the smallest number of lugers manufacturered, they made about a thousand less + than Krieghoffs; and were hard used, so generally you find them in average to rougher shape, very nice ones are much harder to find.

Their serial number range is 1-1900a (first 10000 made, then they went into the "a" suffix range, and went up to around 1900a), so about 11,900 - 12,000 made.
