Default A neat little pocket pistol from WW II.

An acquaintance, a WW II vet, recently died and his wife gave me this .32 Ortgies Pocket pistol. She said that he took it from a captured German officer during the Battle of the Bulge in 1944. She said that there is a holster and some "papers" with it and she will try to find them.

It is a neat little pistol with an odd safety arrangement. They were very popular during the 1920's and 1930's.
