Description
The Korriphila HSP 701, chambered in .45 ACP, represents the pinnacle of precision German craftsmanship—a handgun built not merely for performance but for permanence. Designed by Edgar Budischowsky, this model captures everything that makes the HSP series so admired: mechanical integrity, aesthetic refinement, and rare engineering ingenuity.
At its core, the double-action mechanism allows the firearm to be cocked and fired in one smooth, deliberate motion—an innovation that gives the HSP 701 its distinct feel and effortless functionality. Yet what truly elevates this particular model is its rare slide-stop de-cocker, a feature scarcely found even among Korriphila’s limited production runs. It’s a subtle, refined addition that collectors immediately recognize as something extraordinary.
Visually, it’s a study in elegance and restraint. The polished black finish gives the pistol a deep, mirror-like luster, while the handcrafted wooden grips bring warmth and balance to the design. It’s a firearm that feels just as luxurious in the hand as it looks on display—sophisticated, timeless, and unmistakably German.
This HSP 701 remains complete with its original cardboard factory box, an important historical element that underscores its authenticity. Inside, you’ll find an envelope of factory materials, including the original test target, maintenance tools, instruction manual, and a manufacturer’s letter documenting its origin and production history. Each item adds another layer to its provenance—an archive of its creation and care.
For the serious collector, this isn’t just a handgun—it’s a masterwork. The Korriphila HSP 701 stands as a testament to the art of mechanical perfection and thoughtful design, bridging the line between tool and collectible. To own one is to hold a piece of the Budischowsky legacy—a rare achievement in both form and function.
