Description
This Korth Ratzeburg Dynamit Nobel Combat revolver represents a defining era of German precision revolver craftsmanship—produced during the highly respected Ratzeburg period, when Korth was manufacturing revolvers to uncompromising standards under the Dynamit Nobel banner.
Chambered in .357 Magnum, this Combat configuration blends mechanical refinement with purposeful design. The deep, high-polish blued steel finish highlights Korth’s famously precise machining, while the sculpted hardwood grips provide both visual warmth and excellent ergonomics. Every major component exhibits the tight tolerances and meticulous hand-fitting that made Korth revolvers legendary among collectors and serious shooters alike.
The revolver features a robust frame, smooth double-action trigger pull, and crisp single-action break, hallmarks of Korth’s engineering philosophy. The cylinder, frame, and barrel assemblies are all correctly matched, reflecting factory-original consistency and the level of attention expected from Ratzeburg-era production. Subtle details, from the precise cylinder fluting to the finely finished controls, underscore why these revolvers are widely regarded as some of the finest double-action revolvers ever produced.
Offered as a gallery-grade example, this Korth Ratzeburg Dynamit Nobel Combat is not simply a firearm; it is a tangible expression of German industrial artistry, produced in limited numbers and increasingly difficult to source in correct, original condition.
For the advanced collector or enthusiast seeking a historically significant, mechanically exceptional revolver, this example stands as a compelling and highly desirable acquisition.
