Simson Lugers: Simson & Co, Suhl, the Weimar Years by Edward Tinker, Graham Johnson

Table of Contents Simson-manufactured Lugers are a challenge, primarily because no one has thoroughly researched and then published information on them. A little research has been done by a lot of people, but never put together in one place. The primary purpose of this work is to compile all factual Simson information into one location. We have researched previous studies and published information, some newly published work, as well as doing a tabulation of the markings on all known Simson guns. We have shown photographs of toggle and acceptance markings from various guns by serial number, and provided some information on Simson magazines and tools. Finally, we have presented the very interesting history of the Simson company itself over the past 200 years.
