Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The first series production of Korth revolvers began in 1964 with the police revolver chambered in .38 Special, serial numbered 20xxx. In a feature that persisted throughout the production of Ratzeburg Korth revolvers, the cylinder chambers were peened and polished by a hardened steel ball pressed repeatedly back and forth. this leads to a glassy smooth surface and makes extraction and cleaning a breeze.
In 1965, Korth introduced 4" and 6" barreled six-shot revolvers in .22LR and .22 Magnum, and five-shot models in .357 Magnum, serial numbered in the 21xxx series. The subsequent 22xxx/23xxx series (Which this example is) appeared in 1967, comprising a small run of 6" revolvers in .357 Magnum and .38 Special, as well as .22LR, plus a few 4" .357 Magnums. Its new feature was a torsion trigger spring mounted on a stud accessible on the left-hand side of the frame, and fixed with a set screw on its right hand side. This arrangement allowed an easy adjustment of the trigger pull weight without having to disassembling the revolver.
