If the one in the link here is supposed to have 90% finish, one could suspect, that the Borchardt in the above post with almost midnight black finish is refinished (top pic in post #19)

1893 Borchardt Pistol at Gun World Los Angeles - 818-238-9071

Here's one I sold to a friend last year and another that a group of us gave a work-out.

Very very nice, thanks for showing

With the angle of the stock they look awkward to fire, how are they?

My exact thought,Ben....awkward looking things....is probably why they "improved" them into the Luger....
I wonder just how often these stocks were actually used in the field.

Very accurate with almost no recoil.

Here the stock of the competition is being used.....

Not a service weapon-it's significance is that it's the first practical automatic pistol but soon overshadowed by the Mauser C96, the first successful auto pistol and others like the Luger, Roth Steyr etc-like most pistols of the time it used its own proprietary ammo so military use wasn't going to happen unless a govt bought it in numbers and no one did.

Vert accurate with almost no recoil.

I would love to try one
