Although not expensive, at the time it was of advanced design and high-quality construction with relatively few parts and well-sealed against dirt. Metal components were forged or machined, and assembly in general made no use of screws, even securing the wooden grips with metal clips. The hammerless action depended on a spring-loaded striker to fire the cartridge. Unusual design features included the safety and the multi-caliber magazine. The safety was a lever inset into the back of the grip and, with the gun cocked, forced backward out of the grip into the 'safe' position by spring tension from the firing pin upon depression of a button under the slide. Thus, engaging the safety simultaneously reduced tension on the firing pin spring.
To disengage the safety, a shooter simply would squeeze the grip, pressing the lever forward and locking it flush with the back of the pistol. The Ortgies was a well-balanced, sturdy weapon that found considerable favor in competitive shooting. In 1921, prize winners at some 70% of principal shooting competitions had chosen Ortgies 7.65 mm pistols, and the winner of the German championship on September 26, 1921, at Halensee, Germany, took the prize firing an Ortgies. At the other end of the user spectrum, outlaw John Dillinger carried an Ortgies.”. This small frame Model 1920 6 th Variation pistol is in about Very Good condition with 65% of its finish remaining. Its serial numbers are all matching, and it comes with a single magazine.
This pistol should be of interest to collectors as it was only made for 3 years by Deutsche Werke – production being forced to stop due to the Treaty of Versailles. There are enough variations in slide markings and calibers to make an entire collection of just Ortgies pistols, making them a good choice for collectors.
