RARE LOEWE BORCHARDT M1893 WITH MATCHING STOCK AND ACCESSORIES.

SN 846. Cal. 7.63mm. Late production Loewe Borchardt, SN 846, with 7-1/2″ bbl having integral front sight and “BUG” proofs on left side. “D.R.P./No75837.” on center toggle link. “BU” proofs on toggle assembly, whose breechblock has a broken extractor, and on left side of receiver. “SYSTEM BORCHARDT PATENT.” on right receiver. Numbered parts are all matching. Checkered walnut grips with border. Four orig magazines with matching SN. Orig matching shoulder stock with matching numbered cheekpiece, dummy wooden magazine/breech cleaning holdopen which contains a 3-pc brass cleaning rod with oiler in the handle and holster. CONDITION: Approximately 80% orig blued finish with oxidative flecking around bbl and under trigger guard. Elsewhere, usual high edge wear with front and backstraps having largely transitioned to a mellow patina. Comparable condition small parts, with trigger and springs retaining a significant fraction of their orig fire blue, though the anti-bounce lock and the flat springs on each side of the mainspring housing have turned gray. Orig grips, with bordered checkering, showing loss of varnish and staining but no cracks or chips. All matching mags have noticeably oxidized walls, retaining 30-70% of the orig nickel finish, depending on the mag. Orig wood bases with oil staining and moderate handling wear but no cracks or significant losses. Similar considerations apply to the dummy magazine/holdopen that has numerous dents on the spine. Matching shoulder stock and cheekpiece in surprisingly good condition, having only a few superficial dings near the butt. Fine scattered oxidative flecking on the attaching iron. Unattached holster is oil soaked and cracked with broken retaining strap too short to secure the holster to the stock. An easy replacement that would greatly enhance this rig’s appearance. Dull bore with shallow rifling and moderate etching. Perfect manual mechanics. 4-51421 LMA55 (17,500-22,500) – Lot 1128
