Doug,
I was just at Simpsons site and he currently has only one DWM Borchardt now for sale for $19500.
The are two models of the Borchardt. Model one is the Loewe. Model two is the DWM Borchardt. DWM made minor changes to differenciate it from the Loewe Borchardt. The stock and cheek piece were numbered to the Loewe guns while most of the DWM guns were not numbered at all. So the cheek pieces and stocks are subject to counterfeiting. The cheek pieces have a little spring loaded button on it to hold it onto the stock. These buttons are delicate and subject to breakage. So when they broke, they were simply thrown away over time.
Since the Loewe was the original and rarer, they are more expensive. Especially if the stock, cheek piece and magazines serial number match the gun. Then we get into the case and other accessories...
