Werke Old
Looking for the value of a WWII Nazi Gun - Ortgies Made By Deutsche werke 7.65 Cal?
A friend moving gave me an antique gun. I forgotten about it until spring cleaning yesterday. It turns out it is an old German Nazi gun of some sorts. It is a 7.65 caliber, since it says cal 7.65 mm on on side. The other side says:
Ortgies Patent
deuteche werke aktiengengesellschaft
werk erfurt
I know nothing about guns, germany, etc. Is this really a Nazi gun? Where can I find more info on the origins of this type of gun? I'm sure it must be worth some value - $100's, $1000's??? ANy gun enthusiasts or WWII or Nazi Scholars could really help me out!
Thanks so much!
From the web,
Deutsche Werke Aktiengesellschaft is the company that produced the pistol in Erfurt Germany in the 1920s. The pistol is commonly called an "Ortgies" vest pocket pistol after its original designer. These pistols were offered in .25ACP (6.35mm), .32ACP (7.65mm), and some in .380 (9mm Kurtz). They are not very valuable or rare. Judging only from a photo published in the American Rifleman these pistols may be the same as ERMA pistols, incorporated in Germany in 1949 and beginning imports to the U.S.in 1960. Mine has 'Germany'stamped under the deutsche markings, and may have been imported in the 1930's.
