A little bit surprised on Borchardt's image, he looks like being an Indian.. The first time I saw this image was from a pistol patent booklet published a few years ago, but did not pay much attention at that time. Obviously, this image is now accepted by mainstram Luger collectors. Where did this image come from, provenance?
Borchardt was a naturalized US citizen... probably had a picture on immigration paperworks. But not sure that data being searchable or not by public.
