Description:

This world class double action revolver is manufactured in Germany to tolerances so exacting that initial production was less than 100 revolvers per year. The Korth revolver is literally made one-at-a -time. Equipped with a serrated ramp front sight and frame notch rear sight, serrated hammer and smooth trigger, un-shrouded ejector rod, early 5 round fluted cylinder, and checkered plastic "wood grain" grips. By means of a release button mounted directly below the cylinder, the entire cylinder and crane can be removed from the frame. The left side of the barrel is marked "CAL. 38 SPL.", the right side with three proof marks and the right side of the frame is marked with the three line address.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The revolver retains 98% original finish with a drag line on the cylinder, a couple of minor scratches and some "frosting" on the barrel. The grips are excellent with a couple of minor handling marks and sharp checkering. The action is excellent.
