Description: The solid rib is engraved "SIMSON, SUHL (THURINGEN)" near the breech end. The receiver, side plates, trigger guard, break lever, rear of the barrel and forearm hardware all have beautifully executed floral scroll engraving with animal scenes. The left side plate shows four Wild Jaeger(Roe deer) in a wooded scene, the right side plate shows two English Setters chasing two partridge , the underside of the receiver shows a capercaillies(wood grouse). The trigger guard shows two ducks. The water table is stamped with the pre-war/wartime "BSW" code for Berlin-Suhler Waffen und Fahrzeugwerke. An Febuary 1953 date ("253") is stamped on the underside of the lower barrel at the breech. After WWII BWS was returned to East Germany and the guns were marketed as Merkel's and Simson's as well as under other names. It is not uncommon to find East German guns with pre-war/wartime parts that were factory completed years after the war. This firearm was handled more then fired. It is mechanically perfect and fully functional. The butt plate is broken and needs to be replaced. There is a hair line split in the handle (as seen in pictures) that is on both sides of the grip. 16ga, both modified 27.5" barrel, SOLD Manufacturer: simson Serial Number: 54769 Metal Condition: 90% Wood Condition: crack in grip Barrels: 27.5 Action: over & under Triggers: double Gauge Info: 16 Butt Pad: broken LOP: 14.5" from front trigger Rib: soild Finish: satin Sights: single bead Manufacture Date: February 1953 Chokes: .640 and .640 mod & mod Engraving: custom hand engraved |
