Description
The Korriphila HSP 701 stands as one of the most refined expressions of post-war German pistol craftsmanship, and this example, featuring the rounded trigger guard and double-action system with decocker, perfectly embodies the marque’s understated precision.
Designed by Edgar Budischowsky and produced in extremely limited numbers, the HSP 701 was never intended as a mass-market pistol. Every component reflects an obsessive focus on balance, ergonomics, and mechanical harmony. The rounded trigger guard gives the pistol a more traditional, fluid profile, while the double-action trigger with decocker offers a purposeful blend of safety and shootability without compromising the pistol’s elegant lines.
Chambered in 9mm, this HSP 701 is fitted with finely finished wooden grips that complement the pistol’s deep, even metal finish. The slide markings and machining are crisp and deliberate, reinforcing the sense that this pistol was built slowly, thoughtfully, and without concession to cost or production speed.
All major components match correctly, underscoring the pistol’s integrity and its appeal to advanced collectors who value originality and cohesion above all else. The overall presentation speaks to careful ownership and respect for the design’s intent.
Rarely encountered and increasingly difficult to source in the correct configuration, the Korriphila HSP 701 occupies a unique space between functional precision pistol and mechanical art, an essential piece for any serious collection focused on elite European firearms.
