Wow, at first I did not like the shiny of the bluing (thinking reblued), but that is what is tricky about internet pictures.
Really nice. 1685a would be the 11,685th Simson luger made by them. The highest serial number I have is 1888a - and Simson ended production sometime in 1934 - so a wild guess would say that yours was made around 1933? Really nice having the matching magazine. NOTE that yours although an S toggle, does NOT have a sear safety, many do. A sear safety equals police usage. I would be curious to know the area your dad found this? For several reasons, one reason is that I lived in the Netherlands for seven years (1993-2000). Ed
