Korth GmbH is a German high-end revolver producer. In 1952, weapon designer Willi Korth resigned from Hubertus Metallwerke to pursue his own designs. His first effort was a 9mm blank firing/gas revolver. Designed and manufactured by Korth starting in the winter of 1954/55, these gas revolvers are now highly sought after as collector's items. In 1955, Korth founded a gun manufacturing company in Ratzeburg under his name. In 1962, he designed and manufactured his first lethal revolver, initially chambered in .32 S&W Long. This was followed by the Sporting and Combat models, in 1966 and 1973, respectively.
Nowadays, each Korth revolver is custom made and costs over $5000. While most known for their revolvers, Korth also manufacturers equally high-end and expensive semi-automatic pistols.
