Well, the co-worker has forgotten to bring it back in again. BUT....I did go to a gun show and I'll be danged but someone had the same gun there for sale (except it was chambered for .25ACP). It is an Ortgies, Jim. He seller/dealer had said that .32ACP was actually the more common chambering. Can you guys give amy additional information on the design? My firearms references are pretty limited. It was being sold at $165 (but would come down to $150).

Thanks guys. Sorry about the size comparisons with the Baby Browning. I was going from memory with that one too, and you know my memory.
