Description
9mm Semi-Automatic & .357 Magnum Revolver | 1 of 5 | Master-Engraved with Gold Inlay
Created to mark half a century of Korth’s unparalleled craftsmanship, this matched 50th Anniversary set represents one of the rarest and most artistically significant offerings ever produced by the legendary Ratzeburg workshop. Limited to just five sets worldwide, each pairing celebrates the design lineage, mechanical precision, and hand-finished artistry that defined Korth’s first fifty years.
This set includes a 9mm semi-automatic pistol and a .357 Magnum revolver, each finished to an uncompromising standard. Both pieces share a unified visual language: deep, mirror-polished bluing, elaborate full-coverage engraving, and elegant 24k gold inlay highlighting commemorative dates, signatures, and select ornamental motifs. The engraving features classic German scrollwork framed by delicate gold borders, with subtle relief elements that showcase the engraver’s depth of skill.
Walnut grips—hand-selected for figure and warmth, give both pieces a natural symmetry. Their tones complement the blued steel, allowing the gold accents to stand out with quiet authority. Together, the pistol and revolver form a perfectly harmonized pair, unmistakably crafted as a single artistic statement.
The semi-auto, chambered in 9mm, carries the sleek lines and signature lockwork of Korth’s early semi-automatic designs. The revolver, chambered in .357 Magnum, features Korth’s renowned precision-machined cylinder and impeccably tuned trigger—hallmarks of the brand’s reputation among elite collectors and competitive marksmen.
Presented in fitted anniversary cases, this matched pair exemplifies the pinnacle of Korth’s tradition: mechanical excellence elevated to functional art. Sets of this caliber rarely appear on the market, and among collectors of German masterworks, the 50th Anniversary duo stands as a near-mythic achievement.
