Norton DP-75: Titanium Plus German Police Pistol
This video examines the rare Norton DP-75, a pistol with roots in the experimental Mauser HsP. It features a short recoil system with a pivoting locking block, reminiscent of the P38, and was an unsuccessful contender in German police trials against the H&K P7. The description highlights its aluminum and titanium construction by the American company Norton Armament, which was associated with Edgar Budischowsky, designer of Korriphila pistols. A unique aspect is the inclusion of a fully functional, half-scale miniature of the DP-75, crafted by machinist Raymond Hutchens, sold as a package with the full-sized gun.
