[Edward Tinker]

Possible but unlikely - there were too many parts around

1. some of the 'blank' toggles were just never marked - some people call these sneaks, and although I disagreed with this term for a long time, it is probably accurate, just not for the old time reasons
2. Blank toggles were likely laying around after the war - but I would imagine lots of marked ones (WW1 or WW2) were re-used - I do not know the order of marking or accepting - would guess marking and then acceptance
3. It is possible that they could grind off the name, but then restamping seems unlikely. That said, Erfurt parts by the thousands were delivered to Simson and Simson parts, but the less thousands were delivered to Krieghoff - I do not think Krieg parts went to Mauser and as both were still making lugers on a limited basis to the same time period
4. As a side note on Simson toggles, there is a period of time where the markings on the toggle were very light, Bill guessed that it was a old die (or two) - and it may have to do with hardness?
