    Deutsche Werke/Ortgies 7.65 pistol year of manufacture?

    What would be the approximate year of manufacture of a Deutsche Werke (Ortgies) 7.65mm pistol? Would such a pistol qualify as a Curio & Relic under BATFE rules?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Wiki says they were made between 1919 and 1924. C&R is generally fifty years and older and in any case this handgun is certainly C&R eligible. A very interesting design for a simple blow-back design. Tom

    As OldPaul says, interesting design. The "safety" button acts only to manually activate the grip safety, which, when depressed, clicks off, and does not reset itself. Think this one spent some time in someone's desk drawer.
