Description
The Korth Semi, serial number P040, isn’t just a firearm—it’s a milestone. As one of the first-edition models ever produced, this rare 9mm masterpiece embodies everything Korth stands for: innovation, craftsmanship, and a quiet kind of elegance that only true collectors recognize.
The first thing that catches your eye is the black plasma finish—a sleek, almost liquid sheen that shifts subtly under the light. It’s modern yet timeless, the kind of surface that invites a closer look. And then there are the dark walnut grips—hand-finished, warm to the touch, and shaped with the kind of precision that feels as good as it looks. They provide not just control, but character—bridging the line between luxury and performance.
Chambered in 9mm, the Korth Semi delivers all the precision and balance you’d expect from a Ratzeburg-era design. Every surface, every contour, has been considered. It’s a pistol that doesn’t shout its excellence—it reveals it slowly, the longer you hold it.
Presented in its original Korth factory box, this example retains its full provenance. Inside, you’ll find all the original documents: certificate of authenticity, manual, and model history—each one a direct link back to the factory floor where this pistol began its story. For serious collectors, that completeness is everything—it’s what turns a fine firearm into a true heirloom.
Whether it’s displayed as a showpiece or admired for its technical brilliance, the Korth Semi P040 stands as one of those rare examples where art and engineering meet perfectly in the middle. It’s not just built—it’s composed. And for those who understand the Korth legacy, that makes all the difference.
