Description:

The Norwegian Kongsberg Model 1914 was a modified copy of the U.S. Model 1911 pistol used by the Norwegian army. These pistols are nearly identical to the Colt Model 1911. This Model 1914 features a slide dated "1932" on the right side. The left side of the slide is marked with the later model 1914 caliber, model, and serial number marking with the monogram of King Haakon and the Kongsberg Crest. Inspection mark behind the rear sight. Matching serial numbers found on frame, slide, trigger, hammer, safety, mainspring housing, grip safety, magazine catch, slide release, and barrel. This pistol was likely arsenal reworked due to the phosphate finish rather than being blued. The included factory letter gives dates for proof firing, initial inspection, sighting in firing, final inspection, as well as shipping date to the Main Oslo Arsenal.

Rating Definition:

Fine as arsenal refurbished, retaining 70% refinished phosphate finish with a smooth brown patina on the balance and handling marks. Grips are also fine with spots of softened checkering and most of the original black varnish remaining. Mechanically excellent.
