I own several Simsons (rework and new manufacture) all police connected. None have the lug removed, nor would I accept one as original with it removed. Yet it would be hard to believe that police used a wood shoulder stock, and I have never heard of one in police work. I do not believe that the lug was an issue with the German rework or new construction pistols. I believe that the lug, with few exceptions, alway was, so "we will still build them that way". In my shop today I can, I won't, but I can, very professionally cut off the lug and rust or hot blue along with strawing, all which I've done for 28+- years....but it would not be original.
