Description
The Korriphila HSP 701 represents one of the most uncompromising expressions of German precision-pistol design, engineered not for mass production but for absolute mechanical refinement. Designed by Edgar Budischowsky, the HSP 701 is revered for its distinctive operating system, meticulous machining, and understated elegance.
This example is the double-action variant equipped with a decocker, offering a refined balance between innovative engineering and practical handling. The pistol exhibits Korriphila’s signature satin-finished steel construction, with crisp machining throughout the slide and frame, complemented by finely checkered wooden grip panels that provide both warmth and control. The proportions are compact yet purposeful, with every contour reflecting intentional design rather than convention.
All visible components are matching and correct, underscoring the pistol’s originality and careful preservation. The fit between slide and frame is precise, the controls operate with mechanical smoothness, and the overall presentation speaks to the hand-built nature of Korriphila production.
Accompanying the pistol is its original fitted presentation case, lined in green felt and tailored specifically to the HSP 701 platform. The case includes the matching magazine and factory accessories, completing a presentation that elevates this piece well beyond a standalone firearm.
Highly sought after by advanced collectors, the Korriphila HSP 701 occupies a unique place in modern firearms history, produced in extremely limited numbers and admired for its originality, build quality, and philosophical departure from mainstream service pistols. This example stands as a compelling opportunity to acquire a true connoisseur’s pistol, equally at home in a museum-grade collection or a carefully curated gallery.
