A long-time buddy has a saying...
If my dog looked like that, I'd shave his ass and make him walk backwards.

The Korth USA website features news circa 2000, and appears as if it is still designed for AOL dial up users. No pictures of the riveted revo were seen. Www.korthusa.com

Y'all getting your panties in a wad, over a revolver from 120 years ago?

I'll give the faker credit for an "outside-the-box" imagination, if not execution.

The company wasn't even founded until 1954. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korth

That’s because the Korth USA website had nothing to do with Korth. They were just an importer of the old Ratzeburg Korth handguns.

They never imported the new Korth’s from Lollar.

Seeing a lot of Korth comments here, but very little actual knowledge.

We have eyes and we know our own tastes, and your snobbery is the least surprising thing.

The picture in OP is AI. It is even flagged as such on Korth’s Instagram, where the picture is high-res enough that zooming in on the Korth logo will reveal that it’s AI anyway (letters are twisted/jumbled). There are a couple of other things, such as the muzzle, that are also a giveaway.

However, the Korth Instagram account does also have real pictures of this studded monstrosity. In other words, the picture in OP is AI, but Korth is actually going to be offering a revolver styled in this manner.

4MUL8R, the website you stumbled onto is the old one as bac1023 says. This was back when Korth firearms were imported by Earl Sheehan (Earl’s Repair Service), who was also known for bringing in Walthers. These were the “original” Ratzeburg Korths and have very little to do with the current Lollar Korths being imported by Nighthawk.

Thank you

I can’t imagine a more unattractive revolver.

Can you at least pick them off and eat them like those candy dots on wax paper?

So, the "1906" on the placard does not indicate the year that the revolver was manufactured? OOPS.

('''' •᷄ ᴗ •᷅ ) <-- That's me, looking embarrassed.

Monkeypox Edition right there...

When I saw the picture after reading “ribbed for her pleasure” I laughed harder than I have in a good while. Thanks.

1906 was the year that HMS Dreadnought was launched. For what it's worth that ship obsoleted all previous battleships. This revolver, if genuine, does not even come close to that level of usefulness.

Please delete that picture.

would look better with some streaking rust stains like a real Dreadnought
