Default Discussion of Fluted Firing Pin...

Hi,

A recent purchase of a very rare 1926 dated Simson Luger discussed on the Gunboards Luger site which asked about the authenticity of the firing pin may be of interest.

It looks like at least three of our Simson Lugers (dated in 1926, and made in 1930 and 1931) all incorporate E/6 proofed and correctly serial numbered fluted firing pins. I've attached a photo of the firing pin from my sn 6010.

It looks possible that the change to the fluted firing pin design may have taken place at Simson, rather than Mauser in 1934.

Does anyone have access to documentation (including Weimar patent filings) that might confirm this earlier change to fluted firing pins?

Marc
