Without doubt this pistol has been hot salt blued. It's original finish would have been a rust blue with strawed small parts.
The mags are either Danish..made in Denmark or Mexican. The original mags would have been German of course.
Still..a nice example of a Simson and not every collector has one! I don't..durn it!
Most Luger grips have the last 2 of the serial numbers on the inside. I don't know enough about Simsons to say all 4 is correct or not.
Anyway..with your Family history, it's a keeper.
Congratulations and welcome to the Forum.
