Trade Label for Simson & Co, Suhl

[crs]

I have an older double made by Simson & Co. of Suhl with an aftermarket takedown case and I want a trade label for the case. I have not been able to locate even a good clean image of the Simson Suhl Trade label.

Can anyone tell me where to get such a label?
Thanks,

Unlike the British, German gunmakers rarely used any trade labels. Most often German guns were sold uncased, so there was no use for trade labels. When I put my Phillip Reeb, Bonn, Drilling into an old British guncase, I produced a "trade label" by copying an ornate Ph.R. letterhead.

So it's unlikely to find a "trade label" of any German gunmaker, let alone the countless Country "gunmakers" who retailed guns made by others.

Very nice job on your label. Thanks.
I will likely have to do something similar and incorporate the Simson 3 triangles with S trademark.

I recently came into possession of an early Simson & Co. model W625 training rifle. It is a shame that someone had to cut off the wood ahead of the barrel band, otherwise the rifle is complete. Simson & Co. has a long and interesting history. Very nice label copy you posted.

Simson Trade Label - Made

Here is an image of the label and a pic of it installed on the lid of the case:






On another forum, I have already shared my Sinson Co label with two Simson shooters.
If any Simson owners here would like the jpeg of the label, please PM your email address and I will email it to you. Or I can send it to a forum admin for distribution as needed.

CRS would you care to share a close up of that beautiful firearm? From what I can see that is one gorgeous piece of wood there..!!!

Thanks Tom.
It also shoots well:
At 50 yards, two R&L into one inch circle with Hornady factory 300 grain ammo at 2225 fps.
At 50 yards, a right and left into a two inch circle with hand loaded 400 grain Woodleigh Weldcore at 2050 fps.

Now to use it on something larger than Nilgai and feral hogs!
