Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present an extraordinary, museum-tier piece of West German gunsmithing mastery: an original 1967 Willi Korth Modell Sport double-action revolver chambered in the powerful .357 Magnum caliber. Hand-built during the third year of Korth revolver production in Ratzeburg, West Germany, this masterpiece features a 6-inch ventilated rib barrel, a 6-shot cylinder, and an immaculate factory high-polish blued finish. Carrying serial number 22723 sharply stamped on the frame base, this legendary revolver represents the apex of precision engineering and stands among the finest hand-crafted wheelguns in the world.
This investment-grade offering arrives complete with its original factory textured red presentation box featuring the yellow end label correctly hand-written with model designation "Modell Sport", caliber ".357 Magn.", barrel length "6"", and matching serial number "22723". The revolver comes fitted with its original, factory-matched walnut target grips carved with fine checkering, stippling, and thumb-rest contours that fit the frame with custom-shop precision. The frame displays crisp, clear rollmarks reading "MADE IN W. GERMANY WAFFENFABR. W. KORTH RATZEBURG/LBG" alongside standard West German commercial proof marks and a micro-adjustable target rear sight.
Preserved in magnificent 97%+ or better overall condition, this third-year Korth retains an exceptional amount of its original deep factory high-polish blued finish, showing only minimal handling marks and a faint cylinder turn line from careful storage and limited firing. Mechanically, the hand-fitted action functions with unrivaled silk-smooth precision, vault-tight cylinder lockup, and a match-grade trigger break, while the 6-inch barrel retains a mirror-bright, pristine bore with sharp, razor-clean rifling throughout.
