The upper edge of the spine is marked with an “R” inside a diamond and the floorplate is marked with a circled “D” logo and CAL 7,65”. The magazine shows minor wear and is in about Excellent overall condition. Our Assessment: From Wikipedia: “The Ortgies pistol was produced in 6.35 mm, 7.65 mm, and 9 mm variants. 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 is a very uniquely made pistol that is in about Fine condition with about 92% of its original blued finish remaining. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. This Model 1920 is a 6th Variation based on its markings. Although the Model 1920 Ortgies was only made for 3 years by Deutsche Werke – production being forced to stop due to the Treaty of Versailles – there were quite a few made. This limits its value to the collectors at the same time making them affordable to the budget pistol collectors, and there are enough variants to make a nice collection. The first and third variants are relatively scarce, as are the button safety models and any gun with factory nickel, so collecting all of the variants is somewhat of a challenge.
