Welcome, Mike.
Borchardts are the predecessor to the Luger prior to 1900. Georg Luger worked with Borchardt and together they perfected the design. The first lugers were originally called the "Borchardt-Luger System".
Borchardts are pretty rare. A stock, holster, accessories and case completes the set, but without them they are still very valuable.
The forum has rules I think on commenting on auctions so as Forest Gump would say "That's all I have to say about that".
