Wolfgang,
I have been collecting Borchardt serial numbers for years. Unfortunately many of my notes are hand written and not organized as they should be. I am in the process of collecting them all into a spreadsheet on my computer but I am only about half way through the list. In addition to the serial numbers I have notes on condition, accessories, dates and location of observation and other data. Not all of the guns have complete data as I could only collect what was reported. I have lost count of how many I have recorded, but it numbers in the hundreds. Perhaps your request is the stimulus I need to complete the work
. As time permits, I will start working on it again but I can't promise a completion date. I will attempt to enter all of the serial numbers and make them available, then add the details on the individual guns at a later date. I won't make any promises when the numbers will be available but I will make a reasonable effort.
I would very much like to add your Borchardts to the data base if you would be so kind to send them to me in a PM. Any additional information about condition, accessories, etc. would also be appreciated.
I have a cased Loewe Borchardt, #897. The gun is quite nice, but the case and accessories unfortunately are not in quite as good condition.
Best regards,
Ron
