Borchardt C/93 Modelgun

[rhuff]

Thanks for posting the photos and info.......now this is exciting, at least to me!! Don't wear the finish off by fondling it!!

I had to field strip it to scrub the muzzle paint off, so here is a pic of the springbox with 2-leaf 'snail' spring in it...



I don't have a 'real' spring to compare it with, so I don't know how close it is to original as far as thickness of leaves...

The cartridges came today; here's two pics of them...hard to get good pics, the auto-focus tracks all over the place...





Kind of amusing; the fake primers have the "U" on them...I have them displayed with actual 7.62 Tokarev cartridges [Fiocchi], dimensionally the same as 7.65 Borchardt (for all practical purposes)...The CAW dummy cartridges are heavier; I wonder if they are solid brass???

Edit1: A couple of natural light pics with paint removed...
