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 is nearly devoid of markings. It was only ever marked on the slide with the caliber and model markings. The included informational plaque states this gun is a "Lunch Box Special". These were guns manufactured during German occupation outside the factory for resistance groups across Europe with parts taken from the factory. The plaque states this pistol made its way to Paris in order to aid the French resistance in their efforts against the German army.

Very fine. Retaining 80% plus original phosphate finish with handling marks and an attractive smooth brown and grey patina on the balance. The grips are very good with softened checkering and original black varnish remaining in some protected areas. Mechanically excellent.
