Manufactured without maker's marks or serial numbers, this is an excellent example of a shoulder stock for a DWM Borchardt Pistol. Much as the Borchardt was a predecessor for the more famous Luger pistol, the Borchardt's stock was the forerunner for the later Luger Artillery/Navy stock arrangement, with a thin but rugged board serving as both the stock and a mounting point for a leather holster, in contrast to the larger and more fragile Mauser arrangement. The mounting hardware is blued steel, with a ribbed thumbscrew for tightening the stock onto the lug, and a hardwood cheekpiece is mounted to the left side. The right side is contoured to accommodate the holstered pistol, and is fitted with a steel mounting bracket for the included shoulder strap.
