Description
10/5/26 - This is an excellent Kongsberg Colt Model 1914, manufactured in 1945 and issued to the Nazi Army. Colt licensed out production of the 1911 to Kongsberg Vaapenfabrik in Norway, who in 1945 produced less than 1,000 of this Waffen variation according to Jan Still's book. This particular piece falls in the documented serial range of 29261-30523, where only ~100 have been reported. The gun is 1945 dated on the right side of the slide, and the left side of the slide is stamped "11.25m/m AUT. PISTOL M/1914" followed by the serial number, above which is a crown/K inspector proof. To the left of this stamp is the proper E/WaA84 Waffen proof, showing this gun was delivered to the German occupying forces in Norway. The gun is completely matching. The original matte black finish rates about 97%, with just minor muzzle wear and some small scratches, scuffs and tiny handling marks here and there. Fitted with excellent, correct black dyed wood grips and comes with a correct Kongsberg lanyard loop magazine. The bore has strong rifling with light pin-pricking throughout. A rare wartime Kongsberg in excellent condition.
