Unbelievable

Once I read in this forum, one collector wanted a Borchardt 50 years ago, and waited 50 years to get it. Unusual, isn't it?

It took a while to find what's correct on Borchardt. In dark age, that's hard because so few guns exist for comparing (I bet there were not many of those even 50 years ago, not many were made at the beginning). Study and wait 50 years is very responsible way, but there is a problem, what's the price of Borchardt 50 years earlier, and 50 years later.... waiting this good 50 years, the price of this gun has been gradually pumped into five digits.

Of course, this one is not Borchardt, and unlikely will become a Borchardt level gun.
