I did not know that. I do have a question pertaining to Simson Lugers; maybe Ed can answer...

I've seen many Lugers here, at Still's, and on GB that have ground-down toggles, where the mfg graphic/text would be. Could this have been done 'on order' by the Nazis, since the Simson firm was Jewish owned??? Would leftover Simson toggles delivered to Krieghoff (or was it Mauser?) with the manufacturing machinery have the Simson name ground off???
