Ever hear of an S 25 toggle?

Your Luger is an "S" coded Simson, not an "S" coded Krieghoff. As Lugerdoc indicated, your Luger was created before Krieghoff "acquired" the tooling. There is no need to go through the time and expense for your father-in-law to have this Luger examined by a professional. The Bluebook commentary does not apply to this piece.

Although a scarce variation, its collector value has been removed by being buffed and nickled. It has been properly identifed and evaluated by the members of this forum. It is a family treasure, enjoy it for what it is.
