The old numbers we had were 12K for Simson Company Lugers plus the military dated-2K plus the S dates which is more than all the Krieghoffs. Have those numbers been revised downword? I have not read Still’s book on that era....Gary

Yes, Jan's book is excellent. And I have read my book, called Simson Lugers.
There were less than 12k of Simson's made total, the S toggle, not really a code. They were made at the same time as they made the Simson & Son toggle AFTER the first 10k and are all 'a' suffix numbered. New books, new information.
My simson database is here on the forum.
