Dwight,
Outstanding presentation!!!
On the Axel pin - do the digit formations match that any of the other small digit stamps found elsewhere? It may provide a lead as to when it was originally stamped?
Also - the inside of the grips - are fantastic!!
I wish I had a Simson to compare to yours and assist, but perhaps Herb or another can provide theirs??..
Dwight - outstanding essay.. I really enjoy these - and my guess is, I'm certainly not alone. My thanks for the education, photos and write-up!
