Product Description
NICE Deutsche Werke ORTGIES 6.35 Hammerless SEMI-AUTO Pistol C&R w/HOLSTER
Production Being Forced to Stop Due to the Treaty of Versailles
Here we present a C&R Deutsche Werke Ortgies Pistol, made circa the 1920s in Erfurt, Germany with a production run between 1919 and 1924. Heinrich Ortgies designed the pistol while living in Liège, Belgium during World War I. After the war, he moved to Erfurt, Germany, where in 1919 he began production of the pistol in his own factory, but died later in the same year. Eventually the design was passed to Deutsche Werke, a ship building company based in Berlin. These pistols came with several different markings on the slide but were never given any specific model names other than simply “Ortgies”.
The Ortgies pistol is 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 and, as an export product, was popular throughout the Americas.
The overall condition is fine. Original finish has been preserved with an expected amount of holster wear. Robust action. The bore is mostly bright with some pitting near the breech and maintains strong rifling. Legible markings. The holster is good. Markings are legible. “GERMANY” marked magazine.
