Dave,
My gun is not cased. The cased Borchardts go for just too much money. I almost wavered and bought a cased DWM that had an offfer price of $25,000. I thought that maybe I could bat my sad, big blue eyes at the guy and get him down to maybe $20,000. But I took another swig of my coffee and regained my senses. The interesting thing about this set was that it had the rare oil can and it had five (5), mismatched to the gun, magazines. Two of those five magazines had the same serial number.
I ran into the same guy at another gun show and he still had the same cased set but three of the magazines were gone. I can't remember if the oil can was gone too. But his price was still $25,000. I didn't think that the gun was better than mine and with the magazines gone, I was less interested. Oh well, you snooze...you lose. When you look at a $25,000 gun that you can't shoot, your perspective changes a bit.
But my Borchardt has a stock, cheek piece, holster and straps. The strap for holding the nose of the holster to the neck of the stock has been replaced with a black velcore strap. But otherwise the straps are well worn, but there. The holster is pretty good. I have found a hold open mag and continue to look for the rest of the accessories, including the mags for my gun. Maybe, in my lifetime, I will be able to put a full set together. Thats part of the fun in collecting.
OH, I almost forgot. My stock and cheek piece are not numbered,
Big Norm
