Founded in 1955, just after the end of the post-war prohibitions on German firearm production. The Willi Korth firm produced only 7,141 revolvers between 1964 and 1981. Each revolver was bench made by one of five full-time gunsmiths, producing only about 120 total revolvers annually with each individual revolver comprising approximately 70 man-hours of work and 600 distinct manufacturing operations. Unlike the then standard mass produced revolvers, Korth components were neither cast nor milled, instead the individual parts were ground from steel forgings and individually hand fit. Manufactured in 1975 and co-branded with Dynamit Nobel as a distribution partner. Only 58 revolvers in this configuration were manufactured between 1974 and 1975. The 29,000 series features the same improvements and innovations found after the earlier 26,000 series. Ramped patridge blade front and adjustable rear sights, standard markings and German proofs, small import marking on the frame under the cylinder, gold colored "KORTH/Dynamit/Nobel" plaque on left side of frame, serrated trigger with adjustable stop, wide serrated hammer, and finely checkered thumbrest target grips.

Excellent. 99% original blue finish remains with some light surface nicks, handling marks, and faint rotation line on the cylinder. Grips are also excellent with some small dings and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
