Not a great buy but a good buy (would have been even better at about $1K less). An early example that hasn't been fiddled with much (other than the hokey sling snap on the cheekpiece loop). One could spend their money a lot less wisely. If the mainspring is broken but all the parts are there, it can be repaired. It would be a bear fashioning a new one, but still within the bounds of reason.

Hi Ron

That is an original Borchardt sling hook on the cheek piece ploop, the gun could restored very nicely,

Regards Dave
