1893 Loewe Borchardt

Imperial Arms · 01-26-2008, 12:15 AM

The prices of cased Borchardts have been jumpy since the past few years depending on the eagerness from collectors. In my opinion, a cased Borchardt in +95% condition with most of its accessories could fetch a price of $40-$45k. However, if the 'temperature is hot', it is quite possible for the price to break the $50k mark.

One of the main reasons for the rapid escalation of the price is the demand from countries where this item is 'free' (no import permit required).

I remember in the mid 1980's when nobody wanted Borchardts and their price was less than a M1902 Luger Carbine. Today, a cased Borchardt brings double the value of a Luger Carbine!
