Hi Pete and welcome to the forum.

You'll need to share better pictures including all markings and numbers to learn much about this Simson. Take your pictures in natural shaded light outdoors and shut off the flash. Use the closeup setting on the camera and a tripod (and the self timer) to eliminate camera shake. Post pictures with about 1024 pixels across so that the fine detail is visible.

Stabilize the corrosion and use oiled fine steel wool to remove the active red oxide.

Mfg from 1925 to 1930 there were about 11,500 of these made.

Ed is the international expert on Simson Lugers and has written a very good reference book on them. You can help him by sharing as much detail as possible about your find.
