Description
The Korriphila HSP 701, serial number 0037, represents the pinnacle of precision firearms engineering—an achievement of uncompromising craftsmanship by designer Edgar Budischowsky. Manufactured in Germany, this rare semi-automatic pistol is widely regarded as one of the most refined handguns ever made. Chambered in 9mm Luger, it features Budischowsky’s signature fixed-barrel, blowback-operated system, renowned for its superb accuracy and smooth recoil management.
Every element of this firearm reflects meticulous design. The deep satin blue finish radiates understated elegance, highlighting the clean lines and precision machining that define the HSP 701’s form. The high-grade hardwood grips, finely checkered and perfectly contoured, offer both comfort and control, balancing aesthetic beauty with practical performance. Nothing about this pistol is decorative for its own sake—every detail is intentional, every surface hand-fitted to perfection.
Each Korriphila was individually built by hand, not mass-produced. There are no stamped components, no compromises in materials or machining tolerances. The HSP 701 embodies Budischowsky’s belief that a firearm could achieve absolute reliability and mechanical purity through precision, not redundancy. Serial number 0037 belongs to this exclusive lineage—an early and especially desirable example of the model’s legacy.
Condition-wise, this example remains in exceptional shape, showing the kind of care expected of a collector-grade piece. The internals are clean, the finish even and rich, and the mechanical function smooth and deliberate—exactly as Budischowsky intended.
Whether displayed in a private gallery or appreciated at the range, the Korriphila HSP 701 #0037 is more than a firearm—it’s a symbol of what’s possible when form, function, and craftsmanship meet without compromise.
