Dear All,
This topic already pointed out that the personal relationship between Georg Luger and Borchardt was very bad for well known reason.
Also the relationship between Paul Mauser and Georg Luger was very bad.
On the contrary the relationship between Paul Mauser and Borchardt was a good one.
In our last book: Paul Mauser - His Life, Company, and Handgun Development 1838 - 1914
we discussed about the relationship of Paul Mauser with Luger and Borchardt based upon original documents and letters.
I think it is a very good read and I am sure you will find it interesting.
Additionally, you will see a handmade toggle drawing made by Hugo Borchardt and kept in the Paul Mauser Archive.
Also funny, you will see in an Original Mauser sale book, the sale of a Borchardt pistol, most probably a pistol acquired by Mauser for testing purposes and then sold when not necessary anymore.
Good read,
Mauro
