Wonder who Carlos Tips of Frankfurt on the Main might have been? A Texas-born Frankfurt a.M. architect, painter and graphic designer. Markus

Several Simson catalogue copies from the 1927...1935 period on Gunbroker with variations of a design which would make a killer label.  Markus

Ahh - now we are making progress! Thanks to all.
Wife says keep up good work and she will soon have enough to put together a proper Trade Label.

Raimey; Here is the gun that brought this on:  Simson & Co, Suhl .405 WCF with some custom touches.  Note that case lid has no trade label.

Nice; looks like some fantastic wood. Any idea the meaning of the >>S<< in the escutcheon? Can you pleasure us w/ some image of the marks on the water-table & flats?
Cheers,
Raimey

Since the Simson gun hook design appears to have been in use for a long time; Here's one from a 1922 ad;  Maybe it would make a convincing label. Markus

That' a favourite choice of mine also. Only if it had the Simson triangle.....

Sharp eye, Raimey. You have spotted two of the customized items.
1. The wood is not from the Simson factory, but Claro walnut from California; custom wood work is by B. Dudley. It includes a right hand palm swell, cheek piece, steel grip cap, sling swivel stud, and Kick Ez pad.
2. The silver S is for my last name, but works for Simson also. Work done here in Dallas.
3. There is another good one and if you do not find it soon, I will attach a pic later.
I found no Simson Triangles anywhere and will see about pix of flats and water tables.
