( I know less than nothing about WWI rifles).

I know a guy who raised a lot of heck about me not knowing rifles, my reply was that I couldn't afford both. I keep my eyes open for WW1 Simson and post war - not very common, but I freely admit I don't notice them like a Luger...

So, I have learned a bit since then but not enough -

- You see the Triangle large S before the 20's and I am trying to learn about this marking (I have seen it on commercial items and the 25 acp)
- you see the eagle 6 AFTER they received the contracts IMO
- I have a 1925 rifle receiver that has eagle 6

WW1 rifles were marked with crowns, not eagles

so repairs marks I am inclined to think eagle 6 as new parts, rather than repaired parts
