Original leather case manufactured for commercial sales with the Borchardt C93 pistols. Case exhibits a leather-wrapped exterior, with German silver accoutrements and a green felt lining on the interior. Interior of lid bears a "W.S. WHISLER" sticker. Case contains its solid wood carbine stock, cheekpiece, barring block, cleaning rod, oil bottle capsule (containing a glass oil bottle with what appears to be period oil), oil dropper, as well as its leather sling. Oiler bottle is stamped "MADE IN USA" on the bottom. Oil bottle capsule's label bears a handwritten "3 in / Cole / gun oil / CalumetMich". Carbine stock and cheekpiece serial number is partially over stamped, appearing to originally have been "246" and having been overstamped to be "236". CONDITION: Case exhibits exterior wear and moderate crazing overall, with the leather wrap on one side of the handle having split. Interior of case is excellent. Holster exhibits age-related cracking and some spots of crazing overall, with the belt loop having been torn off at one time, but remaining present. Stock and cheekpiece exhibit some scattered handling marks and impressions but are otherwise very good. Wood barring block exhibits a loss towards the oiler but is otherwise very good. A nice original case, that will make for a nice addition to one's own Borchardt C93 pistol. MLW
