My Ortgies (Deutsche Werke)

[GeorgiaHunter]

I came into possession of an old Ortgies today, and I wanted to share a pic, and ask some questions. One of the grips was "repaired" and I would love to get another one. And does anyone have any info about serial number lookup? Looks like it was made between 1921 and 1924. Here's some more reading for further edification. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ortgies_Semi-Automatic_Pistol

Yeah, I've already looked at Numrich. I don't want their repro's.

There are some really unique features. The "safety" is engaged by pressing a button. Then to disengage the safety you press the backstrap lever. To remove the barrel for cleaning you twist it 90 degrees counter clockwise. It's been fun to strip this gun. It was considered very accurate back in the day.

Thanks for the link. Never heard of those guys. The gun is currently locked in a custody battle. (My brother and I both want it.) I really wanted it to keep my repro P38 company, but we'll see.

Anyone have an idea of value? I'll post more pics if someone believes themselves to be an Ortgies expert.
