1893 Loewe Borchardt

The Borchardt and accessories are very attractive. But a word of caution for anyone who might be tempted to expend lots of money to purchase this low serial number (#19) Borchardt. The gun and accessory group has been assembled (i.e. not originally together). The serial number falls in the very early pre-production range, but the gun is late production Loewe. It has been renumbered and perhaps the accessories made to match. It is a lovely ensemble, but consider any potential purchase with your eyes open.
