To shoot, or not to shoot my WW2 Luger

There were only 12,000 Simson Lugers manufactured between WW-I and about 1933. These are so rare that I personally would not fire one under any circumstances.

Almost every part has an E/6 acceptance stamp, including the grip screws. if you lose or break a part, they are literally made of "unobtainium".

An original Simson firing pin would have a E/6 mark as well as the number. if this is missing, it's a replacement. If it's present it could be original.
