Borchardt holster?

[Ron Smith]

I recall being in a gunshop back in the early 90's when a kid brought in a complete cased Borchardt Rig in 99% condition. He had inherited it from his Grandfather to sell for college funds. He wanted $2000.00 for it. The shop owner told him he would give him $800.00 max.

Another customer flat told the kid that he was getting robbed at that price. The kid didn't sell it to the dealer. I wish I had known then what I know now. I would have taken out a second mortgage.

Shows what greed can cost you. He could have given $4000 and still made a killing. Back about early to mid 90's, I put a $2000 deposit on a Borchardt only, toward a $4000 price tag from from the guy who specialized in Lugers out in Arizona. Unfortunately, when it came time for the 'balance due', I couldn't come up with the other 2 grand and lost my money. I imagine that cased set would have brought $10Grand back then.
