This is a wonderful example of a cased 1893 Borchardt semi-automatic pistol rig. It is complete with various accessories to include all four magazines, the wooden shoulder stock with leather holster, cheekpiece and oiler all contained in a Borchardt style leather bound case. The Borchardt pistol employed the unique toggling breech mechanism which was eventually adopted and refined by George Luger and was used throughout production of the Luger pistol from 1900 through 1942. The top of the chamber area is marked in three lines WAFFENFABRIK/LOEWE/BERLIN." with the top of the toggle mechanism carrying the German patent markings of "D.R.P./No. 75837". The right side of the barrel extension is marked; "SYSTEM BORCHARDT PATENT". The left side of the breechblock, toggle mechanism and barrel extension are all marked with the early German commercial proofs of a "Crown over B and U" proofs, with the left rear section of the barrel marked with the fully German commercial proofs that consists of the "Crown over B, U, and G" proofs over "172,28". It is fitted with the original checkered walnut grips along with the original varnished border around the checkered panel in the center section of each grip. This example includes the matching wooden shoulder stock, the original wood based magazine, one spare dummy magazine with the brass oiler on the bottom, an original black leather holster with attaching straps, an original cheekpiece numbered 652, screwdriver, takedown pin punches and the restored black leatherette carrying case that houses the pistol, stock and accessories.

Excellent with 98% of the original blued finish overall with a hint of edge and high spot wear only. The walnut grips are in excellent condition with nice sharp checkering on both sides, nearly all of the original varnish still intact. Mechanically excellent. The various accessories are all in excellent condition and matching to the pistol. The restored, recovered, relined case as noted is in fine condition.
