Since 2009 the headquarter from Korth is in Lollar/near Giessen, but its still a new company.
The quality is still very high, but only a few handcraftship.
The new models are not worth the price !

Actually Willi Korth started his company in 1954 and produced gas revolvers in the beginning. In 1964 he built the police revolvers for the Hamburger Hafenpolizei on a contract that was later cancelled.
In 1981 he sold th company and it became Korth GmbH & Co. KG and Willi Korth was just there as a consultant. Willi died in 1992 and the factory in Ratzeburg closed late in 2008.
The police model would look like this ugly duckling.
