This Executive Series – Bronze is a true limited edition, with only 20 made for this specific configuration. The COA documents the run size as “1 of 20” but does not assign an individual number to this revolver. It was safe kept and is described as never fired, aligning with its as-new presentation.
The revolver wears a matte bronze DLC finish across its all-steel frame, receiver, and fluted six-shot cylinder, complemented by Gold TiN accents on the trigger, hammer spur, ejector rod, screws/pins, and the front sight bead. The combination delivers a cohesive, high-contrast look that highlights Korth’s precision machining and hand-fit detailing.
The 4-inch barrel features a swooped under-barrel shroud and a heavy profile with a recessed target crown. A ventilated and serrated top rib reduces glare and frames the fully adjustable rear notch and ramped gold-bead front sight. A bright silver-colored muzzle collar provides a crisp visual break at the crown.
Function-focused details include recessed cylinder stop notches, a well-defined cylinder strike point, and a black extractor star for clean ejection contrast. Co-branded Korth and Nighthawk frame medallions, along with Elforyn synthetic ivory-style grips, complete the Executive aesthetic while maintaining a secure, consistent hold.
Built in Germany and CIP-proofed with the 2023 date code "CD," this DA/SA .357 Magnum exemplifies Korth’s modern production standards. It was imported by Nighthawk Custom in Berryville, Arkansas, and ships with its presentation case, documentation, and dated test target.
