.380 Deutsche Werke - Ortgies

[Nubirth2000]

Thinking of selling this and mine looks like the best in condition on the web. Need help in pricing?


The Ortgies .380 pistol was a hammerless semi-automatic pistol produced in Germany in the years immediately after World War I, first by its inventor Heinrich Ortgies and then by Deutsche Werke. Inexpensive, but of good quality, the pistol achieved considerable success at contemporary shooting competitions[1] and, as an export product, was popular in North, Central, and South America.[2]

Looks like there were several completed sales on a few of the auction sites for Ortgies .380's. Prices were between $250 and $500

Nicest one I have ever seen. I thought mine was in good condition but you just cut me deep. Nice gun. I can not help on price as I paid $50.00 for mine and it is a fine shooter. GLWS
