This luger belongs to a friend. I am interested in Mauser code lugers and know little about Simpson’s. This pistol was taken from a German officer during WWII. It looks to have been refurbished by Simpson and a sear safety added. Finish is a beautiful rust blue, one of the best I’ve seen. My friend thinks he has both magazines. I took some pics of the one he brought along; it has matching number to the gun. Only thing I could find that is not matching is the trigger. It has number 74. Any information on this beautiful luger would be appreciated.

John, Not only is it a Simson, which are not that plentiful, but it is a police model! As you said about the sear safety on the left, that is attached. Sear safeties were added after 1933, and are seen only on police guns. In addition, the magazine is the spare mag, which you can tell by the #2 on it. If he has both magazine, matching, then it is very rare and fairly valuable. I don't have one of these yet, and police simson are hard to find. If he decides to sell or trade, please have him consider me.

What is the number on the grips? Burnt in?? Ink, ??

Any marks on the front grip strap?

There are no marks on the grip straps. My questions are, has this luger been refurbised? What is the year of original manufacture? The numbers on the grip appear to be stamped in ink.
