Guns Listing ID: 510753
The Deutsche Werke Ortgies pistol is a masterpiece of early 20th-century firearm engineering, offering a unique combination of innovative design, historical significance, and practical functionality. Manufactured between 1919 and 1924, this semi-automatic pistol was initially designed by Heinrich Ortgies and later produced by Deutsche Werke in Erfurt, Germany. Its reputation as a reliable, well-balanced firearm has made it a sought-after collector‚‚s item and an enduring symbol of German craftsmanship.
The Ortgies pistol stands out for its advanced design features that were ahead of its time. It employs a hammerless blowback mechanism, which ensures simplicity and reliability in operation. The striker-fired system eliminates the need for an external hammer, reducing the number of moving parts and making the pistol more compact and easier to maintain.
One of the most distinctive features of the Ortgies pistol is its unique grip safety mechanism. Unlike traditional grip safeties that are spring-loaded, the Ortgies‚‚ safety remains engaged until manually released via a button on the frame. This innovative design not only enhances safety but also reduces wear on internal components over time.
The magazine design is another highlight. Early models featured magazines that could accommodate both .32 ACP (7.65mm) and .380 ACP (9mm Kurz) ammunition interchangeably—a rare feature even by today‚‚s standards. This versatility made it highly practical for users who needed flexibility in their choice of ammunition.
Despite being marketed as an affordable firearm during its production years, the Ortgies pistol was built with exceptional quality materials and attention to detail. All metal components were forged or machined rather than cast, ensuring durability and precision. The wooden grips were secured without screws, using an ingenious spring-loaded fastener inside the magazine well—an elegant solution that further demonstrates German ingenuity.
The pistols were typically finished with either bluing or nickel plating, providing both aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance. These finishes have helped many examples survive in excellent condition even after a cent
