Simson "sneak" re-work?

[Evil_Ed]

Understood...my understanding of the era between wars is rather empty to begin with. I thought all blank hoods/toggles and K marked barrel hoods were considered "sneaks"...I really need to pick up some more books on the subject.

One project for tonight is to again fully disassemble it, but this time actually document what's marked and numbered where; something I neglected to do last time.

Given all of that, did I just pick myself up a shooter, or is it something I should lubricate and store away? Is it more collectors piece? If I can take the thing out and use it for it's intended purpose and not worry about breaking it, or wearing it more, then fantastic. If it's something better off being preserved and put away, that's just fine too...I just don't quite know which way to go with this one.


Also, if this posting would be better served by moving it to the "new collectors" forum, then no worries moving it there...I didn't even spot that board my first time through the forums.

Thanks!
