Korth is a high-end firearms manufacturer based in Lollar, Hesse, Germany, whose high-end revolvers cost over 3,300 euros and semi-automatic pistols over 4,500 euros. The company was founded in 1954 by Willi Korth, a railway engineer who began his business in a basement workshop making gas revolvers able to fire blanks or tear gas cartridges before moving into firearms production. In 1982 Korth retired from management and sold the company, which filed for bankruptcy in 1999 under later ownership before being acquired again in 2000.
