Old Interesting Gun
Hello,
A friend of mine inherited this firearm from her uncle recently and she would like to know some information on it. I said to her, I think I know a group of folks that might be able to help. lol.
The serial number is 4 digits long in the 7000 range.
All right guru's what kind of gun is this, can you supply some history, who manufactured this firearm, what might it's value be, how collectable is it, when did production start and when did it end, etc...?
Thanks
Tom

That is an Ortgies in 25acp, if I'm not mistaken.

RE: Old Interesting Gun
I did notice that this gun had no visible screws. I thought that was very interesting.
Does anyone know what it might be worth. It is in pretty rough shape. Not for sale though, just curious.
I like how it says it is a gunsmith's nightmare.

RE: Old Interesting Gun
I would guess value in the $125-$200 range. You don't see as many 25's as you do the 32's, but it is pretty rough. I just saw one in much better condition, in 25acp, that had a price of $200 on it.
