Default Borchardt...

I wasn't sure where to post this, or if it should be posted in the Luger forum at all, but I took a chance here. This is not a new story, but it is interesting, plus it has a couple of great pictures to look at...

I am not sure what the first part has to do with the story of the California dealer.... The stolen luger is a different story than the one found in the house walls

Serial #5 did not like like a Borchardt but like a swiss luger...

The first Borchardt I saw was in Texas. TA&MU has/had a small but significant gun collection in the MSC which includes one. However, in todays era of political correctness, maybe they have moved the guns off campus?

That Borchardt on arfcom is MINE. 57Strat simply stole my pic and made up a ridiculous story. Search my old posts, and you will find the exact pic and more of the same gun. Stupid games that arfcommers think are so funny. He would be lucky to HOLD a Borchardt!

Good catch!

There's a lot of that over there. Worse, even.
