Description
Among the most revered revolvers ever produced in Germany, the Korth Ratzeburg Sport represents the pinnacle of post-war European revolver craftsmanship, where precision engineering meets understated elegance. This 6-inch stainless example embodies the disciplined artistry that defined the Ratzeburg era, a period widely regarded by collectors as the golden age of Korth production.
Chambered in .357 Magnum, the revolver was built with performance and refinement in equal measure. The full-length 6-inch barrel provides exceptional balance and a long sight radius, lending itself to superb accuracy whether on the range or in a curated collection. The satin stainless finish is executed with the meticulous surface preparation Korth became famous for, softly diffusing light while revealing crisp machining lines and razor-sharp edges.
Mechanically, the revolver exhibits the bank-vault lockup and glass-smooth trigger pull that distinguish Ratzeburg-manufactured Korth revolvers from their contemporaries. Every component was hand-fitted, tuned, and regulated to exact tolerances, resulting in one of the finest double-action shooting experiences ever engineered.
The revolver is fitted with beautifully contoured walnut grips, precision checkered for both visual warmth and practical control. Their rich tone contrasts elegantly against the stainless steel frame, reinforcing the balance between sport shooting utility and collector-grade presentation.
All serialized components are matching, preserving the revolver’s factory integrity and collector desirability.
From the ventilated rib and adjustable rear sight to the flawless cylinder fluting and perfectly crowned muzzle, every line of this revolver reflects the obsessive attention to detail that made Korth a legend among elite revolver makers.
Today, Ratzeburg Sport models, particularly in stainless steel with longer barrel configurations, are increasingly sought after by advanced collectors who recognize both their mechanical superiority and historical significance within the Korth lineage.
