The Borchardt C93 was manufactured and sold solely in its proprietary caliber, the 7.65×25mm Borchardt. Straußeneier, Wild und Obst kamen von Adelsfamilien aus. Bereits vor 1881 wurden im borchardt unter Anderem Pomeranzen aus dem Himalaya, Erdbeeren aus Algier und frische Austern angeboten. Nonetheless, cartridge boxes from some manufacturers were marked "For Borchardt and Mauser Automatic Pistols." Seit 150 Jahren gibt es das borchardt Tradition ist für uns eine Linie von Internationalität, Frische und Qualität. The cartridge used in the Borchardt C93 Pistol was the basis for the primary cartridge used in the Mauser C96 pistol ( 7.63×25mm Mauser) they have the same dimensions, but the 7.63 mm Mauser generally had a more powerful powder charge (contemporary loading data indicated it took approximately 20% more powder than the Borchardt) and is considered to be too strong to be used in a Borchardt C93. Luger's design eventually became the Luger Parabellum pistol. Luger took the Borchardt design, using the shorter 7.65×21mm Parabellum cartridge, which allowed him to incorporate a shorter stroke of the toggle mechanism and a narrower, angular grip. DWM then appointed Georg Luger to make the requested improvements to the pistol. However, Borchardt refused to make any changes to his original design. These criticisms were noted in the Swiss Army field tests. Furthermore, its recoil was unexpectedly powerful. Although it was accurate and its rate of fire was rapid, the Borchardt pistol was expensive to produce and unwieldy to handle due to its almost vertical grip and distribution of weight. As far as getting the word out I'd think any and all of your local advertising venues flyers, newspaper, internet. You get two guys who really want it bidding against each other and it could surprise everyone. Navy as early as 1894 and later by the U.S. Francotte is a fine name in Belgian gun making and as it's an auction.who knows what it may or may not go for. ĭWM employed Georg Luger to promote the Borchardt pistol in military and commercial channels. The pistol used a toggle lock system, which meant that when the gun fired, a two-piece arm rose and flexed as the gun recoiled, thus allowing the breech to unlock and release the empty cartridge case.
