Hugo Borchardt revealed?!!
Until now it has always been reported that there are no known photographs of Hugo Borchardt. David Eash has brought a book to my attention "The Evolution of Military Automatic Pistols; Self-loading Pistol Designs of Two World Wars and the Men Who Invented Them" by Gordon Bruce. This is a relatively recent book and it contains not only one but two photographs of Hugo Borchardt! I am sure the photos are copyrighted so until I can find out otherwise I can't post them here. One of the photos shows him as a relatively young man and the other somewhat later in life. If these photos have provenance, this is a significant find. Is anyone familiar with the author, this book or the origin of the photos?
