Hello Gary,
I have bought three Simson's in the past two years, one for me and two for two of my
sons. Two 12 bore, one of which has claw scope mounts (called SEM in Germany), and
one 16 Bore for my 15 year old son. They are the plain model boxlocks, DT, extractors,
great shooters, all second hand.
I took mine apart to disengage the auto safety feature (that I hate) and could see how
well made they are, everything polished and well finished.
They should prove to be very reliable and rugged shooters. As far as parts go I think
you should be able to find them through someone in Germany. Surely the members
of the German Guns Collectors Assoc. know where:
