several questions/comments....as i am currently pursuing a simson/jaeger with herold markings, and there's not a wealth of information re these interesting guns;
does this gun have the "herold" marking? i understand that jaeger produced guns into the early 1930's, but i have never seen one of the verschluss guns with a serial number as high as this example. i note the suhl "nitro" marks, so assume it's 1912 or later, but don't see the german date stamp (starting 1924?)....but there are some marks obscured by later british stamps....and i see the crown & R's, but don't see the usual cross and letter/number stamp that would indicate date of british reproof.
at any rate it is a handsome gun, and for me, an interesting variation....and i hope you enjoy it.
best regards,
tom
