Borchardt made by LOEWE in Berlin, in original case. The case looks bad but the goat leather covering the wood over the years cracked and peeled, and this condition is common. Cases with smooth leather are later covered with replacement (one well known to me from an antique violin case) Also the lid warped from humidity. Besides a fine pistol with circa 80% original bright blue and some small parts with fire blue. There are 3 matching magazines, the complete hold-open device with GESETZLICH GESCHÜTZT  (law protected), a matching numbered cheek piece, a not numbered shoulder stock with original leather holster, a handle with 2 screw driver blades, a cleaning rod, a Vaseline can by CARL ABERMANN FRANKFURT/MAIN in a little pouch. The very rare set
