Description
Few revolvers embody the marriage of mechanical mastery and modern artistry quite like the Korth Classic series, and this OWMV configuration stands in a class entirely its own. Produced as 1 of only 2 examples in this exact specification, it represents the kind of ultra-limited Korth craftsmanship that blurs the line between functional firearm and sculptural object.
At its core, this revolver is built on the legendary Korth Classic platform, chambered in .357 Magnum and fitted with a commanding 6-inch barrel, delivering the balance, sight radius, and performance expected from Germany’s most revered revolver maker. Every surface reflects the meticulous hand-fitting and precision machining that define the Korth name.
What immediately sets this example apart is its extraordinary finish. The revolver is dressed in a vivid, high-polish oil-quenched style spectrum finish, shifting between deep sapphire blues, royal purples, and warm bronze hues as light moves across its contours. This treatment accentuates the revolver’s sculpted lines, from the fluted cylinder to the ventilated rib, creating a visual dynamism rarely encountered even among high-end Korth builds.
Complementing the finish are elegant ivory-tone grips, their smooth, organic profile providing both visual contrast and ergonomic comfort. The light coloration frames the revolver beautifully, allowing the iridescent steelwork and gold-tone accents, trigger, hammer, and controls to stand forward with striking clarity.
Every component exhibits the brand’s obsessive attention to tolerances and longevity. As expected from a matched limited production pair, the revolver’s numbered elements are factory-matched, preserving both collector integrity and provenance.
Presented in its original factory case with accompanying accessories and documentation, this OWMV example is not merely a firearm; it is a curated collector piece. The presentation underscores its exclusivity and reinforces its position within the upper echelon of modern Korth production.
For the advanced collector, the appeal is immediate: rarity, finish artistry, mechanical pedigree, and visual distinction, combined in a revolver produced in a quantity so small it borders on bespoke.
The Korth Classic OWMV1 – 1 of 2 stands as a testament to what happens when German engineering meets artistic ambition, an heirloom-grade revolver destined for the most discerning collections.
