The Borchardt C93 pistol cased.  The first commercially produced semi auto pistol. The toggle action was inspired by the Winchester lever action rifle and went on to be improved in the Luger pistol. The box magazine in the pistol grip was groundbreaking. This is a 1:2 scale miniature made by MiniArt in Russia. It functions and disassembles just like the full size model. It cycles brass cartridges from the magazine through the action.

Amazing is a better comment.

I cant imagine how much time and skill it took to make that.

I'm an amateur and dont have the skill to build a Borchardt but I've built a few miniature cannon and spent hours and hours on much simpler projects.
