Post-WW I Deutsche Werke ORTGIES 6.35x16mm Hammerless SEMI-AUTO Pistol C&R
Type Pistol Given to EVA BRAUN by the Führer
Here we present a C&R Deutsche Werke Ortgies Pistol, made circa 1923 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. 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 pistol was produced in 6.35 mm, 7.65 mm, and 9 mm Kurz variants, all using the same blowback operating mechanism. Although not expensive, at the time it was of advanced design and high quality construction with relatively few parts.
An Ortgies pistol chambered in 6.35 mm, like this one, was presented to Eva Braun by Adolf Hitler. It differs only slightly from a standard Ortgies pistol, in that it has a small gold plate inlaid into the side of the slide, stamped "Eva Braun". The pistol was removed from her house following World War II and has made its way through a few houses since.
The overall condition is very good. Robust action. Some original finish remains on the frame. Sharp markings. Both grips are in good shape with an expected amount of handling wear. “Crown/N” proof marks are present on the right side of the frame, slide, and barrel.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
