I have actually bought this from a private individual not a dealer.
I have read in my reasearch on the web of several examples of police reworks that had the frame drilled but never had the safety install completed because they were in the process of removing ones all ready installed. I also read in a few pages from a book stating that simson were the only ones approved to rework the pistols after the war. Regardless it has been re barreled with 2 simson eagle over 33stamps and Police tech stamp (PTV) on the barrel with a #4 and 8,81 below that. There is no import stamp. The forward toggle link and rear toggle ling have been replaced as well as the side plate and take down lever all marked with 11 the frame receiver and all other parts are marked 80 for the serial number 780 with kirsif K below serial number. the rear toggle pivot or receiver axle pin is also stamped 80
