Description:
Post-WW I Deutsche Werke ORTGIES 6.35mm Hammerless C&R Pistol EVA BRAUN
Type of Pistol Given his Mistress, by the Führer
Here Ancestry Guns presents a C&R Deutsche Werke Ortgies Pistol, made circa the early 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.
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 fine. Original blue finish is preserved. Strong action. The bore has retained most of its shimmer, and shows crisp rifling. Fine grips. Markings are clear and legible.
