Well, since I know a bit about Simson's, I can help a lot.

A couple of questions?

How is the stock lug marked (look up at the magazine well, the stock lug should be either marked eagle 6 eagle or eagle 33 eagle 33 or blank

any markings on the front grip strap?

Is the magazine marked with an eagle 6 at the top, bottom and spine?

Is the holster dated 1926?

Okay, you have an early Simson, they were made from 1925-1934, serial number 2031 is at my house and I believe it is from about 1927. So, yours would be in that time frame. The markings on the right side are acceptance and then final proof marking and are ones that I would expect.
