SOLD - Scarce Kongsberg Model 1914 Rig - 1941 Mfg (26253 - 30105)

Description

4/17/24 - In 1914, Norway began producing a copy of the Colt 1911 to be the standard military sidearm, and named it the M1914. From 1940 to 1945, its output fell into the hands of Germans and led to production of these pistols that saw use in the various German military and police branches. Unlike the later waffen-marked variants, the earlier pistols likely saw actual use during the war. This particular pistol was made in 1941 for use by the Germans and is one of only about 8,200 produced under German occupation. It is fully matching (including the barrel) and has retained roughly 85% of its original black enamel finish. There is general high edge wear and somewhat spotty, scratchy wear throughout. Fitted with wood grips with correct black wash. Comes with a proper magazine with the lanyard loop and a proper "Crown HV" marked Norwegian holster. The bore has good rifling with frosting in the grooves.
