Ludwig Loewe & Company of Berlin, Germany, a manufacturer of machine tools, produced the C-93, a semi-automatic pistol that he had invented based upon the Maxim toggle-lock principle Borchardt also developed the high-velocity bottlenecked 7.65×25mm Borchardt cartridge for the C-93. Borchardt's assistant at the time, Georg Luger, also claimed to have influenced its design. With over 3,000 manufactured by Loewe and Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken, Borchardt C-93 was the first mass-produced semi-automatic pistolThe Borchardt C-93 pistol was designed by Hugo Borchardt (1844–1921) in 1893.

This original pistol remains in superb all original factory condition, never touched up, changed or refinished in any manner. All the numbers are matching. What is truly incredible about this pistol is that the bore is gem mirror bright same as day made bore. The action is perfect, wood is flawless and the entire gun displays approximately 80% original blue. The barrel blue is thinning and the high areas (edges) and the grip straps show typical plum and patina that one would expect on a 130 year old gun that was well taken care of. Truly, one of the great additions to any collection of early semi automatic pistols. Serial number is 1930 and even the original wood bottom magazine has the original matching serial number. Of course, the entire gun sports the imperial stamps as well. A keystone collector gun.
