On the off chance its still there the next time or two, is there anything in particular I should watch out for? Bad cell picture:

Yes. There are no screws in an Ortgies; grips are held on by clever spring loaded catch. If they're damaged, it's from someone trying to pry them off.

Last produced around 1926. Finish described as excellent.

A .32 Ortgies is on my short list. If you need a disassembly guide, I can copy it for you.
