Description:

This is a very fine example of a post WWI Weimar era Simson "S" code Police rework Luger pistol. Most of these early Weimar Lugers were reworked by either the DWM and/or Simson factories in compliance with the Treaty of Versailles and were issued to both the Weimar Military and Police units up from the mid 1920s through the 1932/33 time frame before Hitler came into power and before the Nazis abolished/closed the Simson Company. The chamber area is blank, however the right side of the barrel extension has several small "Eagle/6" acceptance/firing proofs along with the small Weimar Eagle acceptance proof, indicating rework by the Simson factory. It has the military style serial number placement with the full serial number on the major components with the last two digits on the small parts with an "Eagle/6" proof mark on many of the small parts. The numbers are matching however some are of a different size indicating the use of left over WWI and some new manufactured parts. It has the standard "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" safety and extractor markings. It has the standard Police sear bar over the side plate, along with the clipped trigger safety bar magazine safety, which was done during the Nazi era. It is fitted with standard checkered walnut grips. It has one unmarked nickel plated magazine with a (matching) aluminum base. The base is stamped with a small "Eagle/6" proof followed by "645/a+".

Rating Definition:

Very fine with 95% of the arsenal refurbished blue finish with edge and high spot wear overall with some old very light pitting on the right frame rail. The smaller parts retain 90% of their straw colors overall. The grips are in very fine condition with nice distinct checkering overall mixed with some handling marks and minor nicks in the checkering. Mechanically excellent, including the magazine safely.
