Interesting idea...But would Loewe's or even DWM have had 4140 or higher grade steel in those days???

Oh, I see what you mean...A new Borchardt, made with modern steel...Isn't that what TennBill2 made???

Now that is interesting...Get someone to write a CNC program to crank out replicas...

These guys do just that kind of thing...
