ammo ) now just to remove any residue lurking in barrel, breech area etc. Forgot year when it started using noncorr. Any milspec parts that need replacing are always available at Brownells etc. If you value it, just don't shoot any old military 45 ammo as it is corrosive. Kept it cleaned and oiled with lead bullet reloads. If that makes any difference on shooting or storing the M1911.Ī friend of mine used to shoot his 1918 Colt 1911 once in a while at a local IDPA match. Oh yeah, I have the holster for the M1911 stamped with Enger-Kress 1944 in it. I can't imagine why James Bond (internet research) would have switched from that to the PPK that has an exposed hammer. I gotta say, that Ortgies is one sleek looking gun, with no protruding components. I realize these are broad questions, but any insight would be welcome.
ORTGIES PISTOL VALUE TODAY HOW TO
I plan on taking them to a gun smith and have them inspected to make sure they are safe, operational, etc.and have him or someone else teach me how to clean them.
These guns sat in a closet for at least 40to 50 years unused but well cared for. But if these are collector (doubt the Ruger is, looks too new), how much will shooting them diminish their value? If they are collectors then I suppose I would probably sell to a collector rather than me shooting them to no value. I've never shot a pistol only shotguns and rifles, but I wouldn't mind starting up on the pistols. no rust, pitting, bluing is matt finish so I don't know if that is new or worn). The M1911 certainly looks like all original and in good conditions (i.e. The Ortgies, looks pretty dang new as well (it has the OH medallion in the handle). The Ruger is nearly new in box, and I have the box. The Ruger Security Six 4" is newer (I believe around 1968). I think he was given the Ortgies (Deutsche Werke Aktiengesellschaft Werk Erfurt) around WWII (SN 49XXX). I know the M1911 was my dads from when he was in WWII (SN 179XXXX).
