Early Ortgies Semi-Automatic Pocket Pistol, #6284, .32 ACP cal., 3-1/2'' barrel, blue finish, smooth walnut grip panels with gold Ortgies medallions. Seldom seen early slide marked ''Ortgies & Co.-Erfurt/Ortgies Patent'', with crown-''N'' proofmarks to frame and slide. These pistols are much more commonly encountered with ''Deutsche Werke'' slide legends and later grip medallions with the stylized lion, placing this pistol's manufacture in the very early 1920s. Condition is excellent showing light muzzle wear and thinning to the niter-blue extractor. Grips show light smoothing and some oil darkening near medallions. Action remains crisp, bore is bright. Est.: $400-$600. (C&R)
