Any idea what else came from the factory in the empty cutouts in the box? Something boring like a cleaning kit, or something more interesting?

It is always interesting to see how gun design reflects the dogma and doctrine of its day. While it may be unfair to judge a gun without having ever shot or even held it, I believe I see at least a couple design features that would be less than ideal in today's understanding and emphasis on ergonomics.
I'd bet that thin grooved trigger might be a tad hard on the trigger finger after several rounds.
Also, and again its unfair to categorically state this based on only seeing two samples, but I believe that perhaps Herr Korth may have found ways to improve upon his already high quality initial offerings observed in the later one.
It's also interesting that Herr Korth chose to update the trigger guard to reflect the trend of the time, but elected to stay with a single stack design instead of transitioning to the "Wonder 9" trend also popular at that time...although admittedly that would have required a major design change.
I'm always interested to see how different manufacturers implement their respective level of quality in their designs. Might we see some pictures of the gun field stripped and its inner workings?quote:Originally posted by pessimist:
Wow! Exquisite.
That is precisely my impression as well...exquisite!

Its not an updated trigger guard. Those two are only a year apart and there are much later examples with the rounded guard. They did them both ways.

Now if you could snag one or two of the optional detachable shoulder stocks the set would be complete.
Beautiful Korth Pistols.

Really, thanks for posting these pics! I have never seen pics of such quality and detail. All I have seen over the years have been grainy "copied from a book" type images.

Very nice for sure, I had never saw one before now thanks for sharing. Is the barrel fixed?

Wow, those are all amazing. Thank you for the write up and the pics. I am curious why you say it's not as accurate as a p210 etc? Is it the gun itself is not mechanically accurate or capable of great accuracy, or do you mean it's more difficult to shoot accurately?
