вЂњGermanyвЂќ is stamped above the serial number.

The original magazine and slide are stamped with the correct script вЂњDвЂќ monogram as are the brass medallions in the wood grips. This excellent example retains most of the original blue finish and is clearly marked вЂњDeutsche WerkeвЂќ and вЂњWerk ErfurtвЂќ on the left side of the slide and вЂњOrtgies PatentвЂќ on the right side of the slide. To disengage the safety, a shooter simply would squeeze the grip, pressing the lever forward and locking it flush with the back of the frame. Thus, engaging the safety simultaneously reduced tension on the firing pin spring. 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. Unusual design features included the safety and the magazine. As in early Colt and Browning pocket pistols, the Ortgies striker also operated as an ejector as the slide traveled backwards after discharge. The hammerless action depended on a spring-loaded striker to fire the cartridge. Metal components were forged or machined, and assembly in general made no use of screws, even securing the wooden grips with metal clips. During this time this pistol was of advanced design and high quality construction with relatively few parts, well sealed against dirt.

The pistol follows the design of the original German Ortgies patent, and was crafted by Deutsche Werke between 1921-1924. The pistol is chambered in 6.35mm (.25 ACP). Offered for sale in this lot is an exceptional example of a Deutsche Werke semi-automatic, hammerless, pocket pistol.
