Description
There are revolvers, and then there are Korths. This Korth Combat 6” Ratzeburg chambered in .357 Magnum is one of those rare pieces that reminds you what true craftsmanship feels like, the kind that doesn’t rush, doesn’t compromise, and doesn’t have to shout to make an impression.
The deep blued finish is mirror-smooth and hypnotic, catching light in a way that makes the steel look alive. The finely grained wood grips fit the hand like they were carved just for you, warm, balanced, and perfectly finished. Every curve, every edge has intention behind it. There’s a kind of quiet confidence in its design, that signature Korth blend of German precision and old-world artistry.
Details matter here. The stainless steel hammer and trigger provide just enough contrast to break the visual rhythm, while the gold Korth medallion set into the grip stands like a maker’s mark, a final signature from one of the most respected names in revolver making.
This 6-inch model strikes that perfect middle ground, substantial but not cumbersome, elegant but built for performance. Chambered in .357 Magnum, it’s not just for display. It’s a shooter’s revolver, finely tuned, smooth in action, and balanced in recoil. Even among Korth collectors, examples like this one, Ratzeburg-marked, factory fresh, and complete, are few and far between.
Presentation matters too, and Korth knew it. The revolver arrives in a black leather briefcase, detailed with gold latches, as if it’s carrying something far more valuable than cash. Inside, factory documents sit neatly in place, authentication papers, specifications, maintenance notes, everything exactly where it should be.
The Korth Combat 6” Ratzeburg isn’t a revolver for everyone. It’s for those who understand the difference between owning a firearm and owning a legacy. It’s not just an acquisition, it’s a statement of taste, a piece of mechanical art, and for the right collector, the crown jewel of a lifetime.
