Simson & Co. Luger Questions

Hi,

According to Jan Still's book, "Weimar Lugers", Simson production started in April of 1924 and ended on March 31 of 1934. In 1922 Simson was awarded the major contract for repairing and reburbishing Lugers. They were probably doing this as early as around 1919. The serial range runs from the no suffix to about 2000 A on the new manufactured Lugers. Somewhere around 12,000 total were produced of new manufacture.
