John, mostly agree, but there are rarer guns. There were almost a 1,000+ less Simson's made

Krieghoff's are not only rarer, but have a very nice finish, Simson's were built for the military and met those standards, but IMHO Krieghoff had larger contracts in mind and put extra special attention to making them as nice as possible (which they did win a machingun contract, which was very lucrative for them).

Skeeter, have you started buying some of the less expensive, but better luger books 9read the reviews, some are not worth buying)....
