Rare and desirable DWM Borchardt C-93 pistol, with only about 3,000 of these manufactured between Loewe and DWM. Developed by Hugo Borchardt, an American. He followed the same principle as the toggle lock system of the Maxim machine gun. This is an all matching numbers gun with 1 matching magazine. The gun comes with an original stock, cheek piece, and a holster. The stock and cheek piece are not numbered; DWM did not number them where as Loewe did. Stamped on the cheek piece is "G. HINTON TAUNTON / 1691"; this is not any kind of a factory mark. "(Crown) / B", "(Crown) / U" proofed on the left side of barrel and receiver. "SYSTEM BORCHARDT. PATENT. / DEUTSCHE WAFFEN - UND MUNITIONSFABRIKEN / BERLIN" is on the right side of the receiver. with "D.R.P / No.75887" on the toggle. A great addition to any collection. CONDITION: Gun retains the vast majority of the high polish blue finish, with some thinning on the front strap and the spring housing. Some light pitting on the right front of the frame. Nitre blue small parts show some typical wear. Checkered grips with a border show a few slight handling marks. Checkering is sharp and crisp. Bright and shiny bore with sharp lands and grooves. Stock is in good shape with a few small dings and dents from use. The cheek piece is missing some of the hardware in the take off lever. Holster is in good shape. It has some leather crazing and some of the stitching has split.
