*SCARCE ENGRAVED ORTGIES SEMI-AUTO POCKET PISTOL. SN 71823. Cal. 380 ACP. Gold finish with 3-3/8″ bbl, fixed sights and mounted with smooth walnut grips with brass medallions. Pistol is engraved in European style with leaf & vine patterns mixed with arabesque scrolls and has a partial shaded background. Front strap, trigger bow & bottom front of the frame are engraved in foliate patterns and sides of trigger guard are engraved in diamond patterns. Most unusually, this pistol has an added manual slide lock/safety device built into the side of the frame and extending through the top of the left grip with a safety notch and a hold-open notch in the bottom edge of the slide. This device appears to be an experimental or prototype and has a small “S” on the flat arm below the serrated button. Usually Ortgies pistols are without slide lock or thumb safety, relying only on the grip safety. Bbl, slide & frame have crown “N” proofs and bottom front of frame is marked “Germany”. CONDITION: Fine. Overall retains about 95% strong orig gold wash, possibly over silver, with slight muzzle edge and grip safety wear. Left grip has a hairline in top front edge, otherwise grips are sound and retain a hand worn patina. Mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore. 4-39274 JR307 (1,500-2,500)
