Some of the Simson Lugers carry the eagle/33 (as opposed to the common eagle/6) acceptance stamp on the forward toggle link — It is possible that it only appeared on some of the a-suffix Simsons. Does yours have it? If so, please share a photo.
@Edward Tinker — have you happened to keep track of these examples?

Ed, fantastic that you kept photos of the toggle markings! I’ve gone through them and added the eagle/33-stamped toggles to the ones in the OP (so far we are at six as shown below). I’m assuming #36 and #48 are also in the a-suffix serial range. Therefore, of 235 reported a-suffix Simson Lugers (from your chart), so far six (~2.5%) show the eagle/33 acceptance stamp. I’ll update this percentage as more examples come in, though I expect it to remain under 5%?
