Project Description

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!  This is a 1/3 scale Ludwig Loewe Borchardt semi-automatic pistol made by Master miniature maker David Kucer in Canada about about 1992.  This is the first one of these I have ever been able to offer for sale in my almost 30 years of dealing in miniature firearms!  100% fully functional.  4 5/8″ long overall with a 2 13/32″ barrel of about .105 caliber.  8 11/16″ long overall with the stock attached.  All machined steel construction.  The major parts are a high polish black blue.  Some of the small parts are straw case hardened, and the two sheet metal plates on each side at the rear, the extractor, and the magazine release spring are fire blued.  The top front of the receiver ring just behind the barrel is marked “WAFFENFRABRICK, LOEWE, BERLIN” in three lines.  The top of the toggle marked “DRP, No 75837”.  The stock attachment at the rear is marked “2748”.  The right side of the receiver marked “SYSTEM BORCHARDT PATENT”, then a little lower & farther forward “D. KUCER”.  Includes the detachable walnut shoulder stock, brown leather holster, detachable walnut cheek piece, walnut hold open with oiler, an extra magazine, & a walnut handled screwdriver.  All cased in a hinged top black pebble grain leather case with key lock & two flip latches, English fit.  The case key is chained to the carrying handle.  The case interior bottom lined in green felt.  The interior top padded and lined in green silk.  The top right front corner of the case embossed with the Kucer coast of arms logo in gold.  The case has a lidded compartment which is empty, the lid with a walnut knob.  Only about 10 or less of these were ever made.  You just have to hold this to appreciate the quality of the workmanship!  I was just starting in the miniature business when these first came out almost 30 years ago.  David’s price at that time was $11,000.00.  There are a few minor finish blemishes.  One at the rear of the front sight band, some small freckles on the bottom of the barrel, and a small place just forward of the safety.  Priced accordingly.  !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
