Chukerman,
I have one of those and feel very fortunate to be wise enough to get it when the opportunity presented itself. Even though the 12 ga. version gets more use, that 20 ga. is a delight! It's a keeper for sure and hope you have kept yours.

12 ga GDR Simson which I bought NIB from the Rod & Gun Club while I was stationed in Germany. It was my Christmas present to myself in 1983, cost $484 including a nice basketweave sling. It was my only shotgun for many years. After I left the service I lived in Jersey and the local police chief "didn't want anyone to have guns" so I was told "you're wasting your time" when I went to pick up the forms for a Firearms Purchaser ID card. Already having a quality gun, I decided to not fight city hall and left without the papers.
I still have the Simson (and the box) and regularly use it.
fiery, dependable, occasionally transcendent

My Dad hated New Jersey. Absolutely hated the place. He never gave me the entire story on why, but, as I get older, I see snippets of why that might have been.
He always said Jersey was a great place-to be from.
Best,
Ted
