German made hammerless box-lock side-by-side double barreled shotgun chambered in 12 Gauge manufactured circa 1951 in Suhl(Thuringen), Germany. Before WWII Simson was an independent company, and during the late thirties the Third Reich took over the Jewish owned company and renamed it 'BSW'. After the war, Suhl was "behind the curtain" in East Germany, so Merkel, Fortunas (East German Sauers), and Simson were all made in the same factory. After the unification of Germany, Simson later became a private label of Merkel, especially for export. It features double 28" ribbed blued barrels, a 'full' left bore and 'IM' right bore (measured with a drop-in gauge), 70mm chambers (2.756"), dual smooth curved triggers with a 14" length-of-pull, brass bead front sight, cocking indicators, extractors, scalloped boxlock action and sliding tang safety. The wood furniture consists of an checkered splinter forend with color-case hardened hardware, a semi-pistol grip buttstock with checkering at the wrist, black plastic grip cap, and a Pachmayr ventilated rubber recoil pad. The receiver is color-case hardened along with the metal on the forend, and the barrel, top lever, and trigger guard are blued. The overall original blued finish retained is approximately 98% with very little edge wear. The color-case finish is approximately 95% intact with carry wear. Wood furniture is very good with a small gouge behind the grip area on the buttstock, some missing points, and light handling wear on the remaining wood. The action is smooth and crisp, with bright excellent bores.
Condition is near NRA Excellent.
