Early Development of the Korth Semi-Automatic Pistol

Willi Korth’s semi-automatic pistol was never designed for mass adoption, but as a precise mechanical statement built to the same uncompromising standards as his revolvers. Prototype No. 005 stands today as a rare and fully realized example of that philosophy, defined by durability, restraint, and indifference to commercial shortcuts.

Collecting Classic and Vintage Colt 1911s: The Art of American Steel

For collectors who appreciate fine art and sculptures, the Colt 1911 occupies a unique space as functional artwork – a piece that John Moses Browning designed over a century ago that somehow still looks modern and feels relevant. These aren’t just firearms; they’re tangible connections to pivotal moments in American history, hand-fitted by craftsmen whose knowledge and skills have disappeared, making each surviving example in original condition increasingly precious to discerning collectors.

The Rarity of Early Korth Ratzeburg Revolvers: And Where the Colt BOA Fits on the Spectrum

Early Ratzeburg Korth revolvers aren’t rare because they were limited, they’re rare because they were never meant to exist at scale. Set beside them, the Colt BOA stands as an exceptional factory achievement, while the Korth remains something closer to a mechanical artifact than a product.

The SIG Sauer P226 Anchorman: When Maritime Brotherhood Meets German Precision

Born from a collaboration between Heribert Bettermann and the Anchorman Naval Brotherhood, the SIG Sauer P226 Anchorman unites German precision with maritime tradition. Hand-built during the final years of SIG Sauer’s Mastershop in Eckernförde, it stands as one of the last true expressions of craftsmanship before the era of hand-fitted steel gave way to modern production.

The Sphinx Model 3000: When the Swiss Decided to Build the Perfect Combat Pistol

The Sphinx 3000 was probably one of the best combat pistols ever made, machined from solid steel blocks by Swiss craftsmen who treated it more like a watch than a weapon. It was also too expensive, too perfect, and too specialized to survive in a market that mostly just needs “good enough.”

Serial Numbers and Secrets What Your Firearm's Markings Actually Tell You

Serial Numbers and Secrets: What Your Firearm’s Markings Actually Tell You

Every little number and weird symbol stamped into a firearm is trying to tell you something—from proof marks that look like tiny medieval shields to inspector stamps someone punched in decades ago while probably drinking their morning coffee.
