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. ...
yes on the simson company being the only reworkers.

NO, on the sear safeties being removed. They were never removed. Magazine safeties were removed, but not sear safeties.

SEE THE FAQ FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.


As Don stated, Simson BARRELS were used, and likely put on by the berlin police armory and not put on by Simson.
