	Hugo Borchardt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hugo Borchardt (June 6, 1844-May 8, 1924) was a firearms inventor and engineer, born in Magdeburg, Germany.
		Hugo Borchardt had many non-firearms patents: a rock drill, a shirt-neck shaper, gas burners, ball-bearings, a wire-straightener, and various electrical apparatus.
		Borchardt died of pneumonia in Berlin-Charlottenburg in 1924.

	Borchart Pistol in Guns World
		The onset of 1893 saw the advent of the Borchardt pistol in 7.63 mm Mauser, designed by Hugo Borchardt and manufactured by the German arms concern Ludwig Loewe, Berlin.
		The Borchardt utilized a toggle lock, but housed the locking mechanism and springs in a large, bulbous assemblage at the rear of the receiver.
		Borchardt thought his design quite adequate, but in addition to its bulky nature, the Borchardt pistol proved expensive to produce.

		The pistol, designed by Georg Luger, was an evolution of an earlier Hugo Borchardt design.
		Because of the fact that the barrel is fixed to the slide, Lugers are very accurate pistols.
		The first Luger pistols fired the 7.63 mm Borchardt pistol cartridge, which was anemic by any standard.

	Luger (pistol) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pistol, designed by Georg Luger, was an evolution of the earlier Hugo Borchardt design, the Borchardt C-93.
		As a result of precision engineering tolerances, ergonomic grip angle and shape, good trigger pull, and a design where the barrel remains aligned in constant relation to the axis of the frame during operation (no tipping as in Browning designs), Lugers are very accurate pistols.
		The Swiss Army evaluated the Luger pistol and after a change to the more potent Parabellum or 7.65×23 mm cartridge (.30 Luger in USA), it was adapted in 1900 as its military sidearm, and designated as the Ordonnanzpistole 00 or OP00.

	Jan 1999 Questions And Answers
		Hugo Borchardt was born in Germany, at the age of 16 he immigrated to the United States, and became an American citizen.
		The Borchardt pistol made use of a clock-type recoil spring that was housed at the rear of the frame, and the same toggle lock mechanism that was later to be used in the Luger Parabellum, it was the first automatic pistol design to place the magazine inside the grip.
		Although the Borchardt design was somewhat awkward, the grip being at almost a right angle to the frame, and the recoil spring housing at the rear of the frame having too much overhang, it was a brilliant piece of mechanical design and was regarded with considerable respect by gunsmiths of the time.

		Borchardt mixes fantasy, horror, romance, suspense, action-adventure, political intrigue, and realistic evocation of Italy in the late eighth century.
		When I started reading the third novel in Alice Borchardt's werewolf series I assumed "The Wolf King" was a reference to Maeniel, the gray wolf, but by the end of the story I had concluded it really meant Charlemagne, the Frankish monarch who is in the early stages of creating the Holy Roman Empire.
		Borchardt's attempt to reconnect every little detail from the first book to this book is frustrating and feels false.

		Borchardt's strength, as usual, is her deeply researched setting, which brings alive the barbaric era after the fall of the Roman Empire.
		Set against the rise of the Frankish kingdom, Borchardt's latest addition to the series begun in The Silver Wolf and continued in Night of the Wolf follows the fortunes of soulmates Regeane and Maeneal as they struggle to survive during one of the world's bloodiest historic eras.
		In the third installment of Borchardt's series combining shape-shifters (wolves becoming human and vice versa when and where they wish) and Roman history, Borchardt sets her new novel in the eighth century, a world of brutality, blood lust, and real politick.

	MILITARY FIREARMS -- LUGER 9MM PISTOL
		Widely known as the "Luger" or "Parabellum", the semiautomatic, recoil-operated Pistole P-08 was based on an 1893 design by American Hugo Borchardt.
		George Luger adapted Borchardt's original design and considerably refined it in 1900.
		The resulting improved pistol was accepted into military service in 1908, and remained the standard service pistol of the German Army until the 1938 introduction of the Walther P-38.

		In the late 1800s Hugo Borchardt designed a pistol, and a cartridge for it, that became the Model 1893 Borchardt pistol.
		Borchardt was an American, but his pistols were made by Loewe in Germany.
		(The Borchardt pistol evolved into the Luger pistol, which used a shorter, less-powerful.30-cal. cartridge.) A hotter loading of Borchardt’s cartridge was adopted by Mauser for his 1896 pistol, known as the “broomhandle.” Velocity was in the 1,400 fps realm, and it was the fastest handgun cartridge around for many years.

		In the hands and oddly shaped holsters of many Americans were Borchardts, Mausers and Bergmanns, unusual-looking sidearms chambered for a variety of metric calibers ranging from 7.63 and 7.82mm to 9mm Largo.
		There were numerous attempts at perfecting the self-loader throughout the early 1890s, but the first real success was the Borchardt Automatic Repeating Pistol patented in 1893 by Hugo Borchardt and his colleague Georg Luger.
		Hugo Borchardt and Georg Luger's design, however, wasn't the only means to an end.

		During World War II, Hugo Schmeisser designed a light rifle to fire the Germans' 7.92-millimetre Kurz, or "Short," cartridge, which was of the same calibre as the Mauser rifle cartridge but was lighter and shorter and was therefore of a less potent, "intermediate" power.
		Designed by an American, Hugo Borchardt, this 7.63-millimetre weapon operated on the principle of recoil.
		Borchardt's toggle and spring mechanisms were improved by a German, Georg Luger, who came up with the 7.65-millimetre (later 9-millimetre)

	REME Technical Notes on Weapons Collection - Pistols and Revolvers
		The first successful pistol to be placed on the market was designed by an American, Hugo Borchardt in 1893, but it was manufactured in Germany because financial backing was not forthcoming in the USA.
		By modern standards this weapon was clumsy, but it did have a detachable magazine in the hand grip and was unlocked by the recoil of the barrel which operated a toggle lock similar in principle to that used in the Vickers Machine gun.
		For instance, the design of Borchardt's cartridge in 1893 was completely correct; it became the 7.63 mm round which Paul Mauser's 1898 pistol used and is still recognised nearly sixty years later as an excellent cartridge.
