My collection currently contains two examples of the Ortgies pistol. All this is available on line if interested.

Sources indicate new (manufactured but not sold) pistols were sold for some time after manufacture ended, perhaps into the early 1930s. The pistol was made from 1919 to 1924 or 1926 (depending on source) – a total of five or seven years. It is named after the designer of the pistol, Heinrich Ortgies. Another one of the European 7.62mm pistols of the early 20 th Century is the Ortgies. ![]()
