Onomea,
did you ever get Willi's book? It covers the early Ratzeburg guns up to the 31 series. While it is in German, it might be worthwhile getting as long as there are some available new.

Don't fall for this:

Andy, thank you for the comment, and for the advice. I have read all of your posts on Korth on the internet that I could find, and appreciate your freely sharing of your knowledge.
I have the Korth book, which I ordered from Viet Morgenroth directly. While I don't read German — anymore; spent age 6-10 in Germany as a child — I find Google translate works quite well. I hover my iPad over the book, activate Google Translate, and English pops up. (What an amazing world we live in nowadays!)
(I have annoyed Michael Zeleny, BTW. I think because of pestering him with too many questions... I am grateful, too, for his knowledge of Korths, freely shared.)

Another accessory for Manurhin revolvers. Bought it on Ebay France.
The early Korths came with five discs numbered 1 to 5. As far as I remember no. 3 was usually installed from the factory and Korth eliminated two discs that were not very popular according to German shooter's feed back.
No. 1 is the smallest roller and has the strongest stacking, no.5 has the largest diameter and the lowest stacking; none that can be felt. Three is in between and is what I use in my guns. Changing the rollers is no big deal and I had bought a bunch of them from Mr. Weber when I visited Korth, Lollar about a decade ago. I believe he still has them and they were *10 a piece at the time.
