The Norwegian Kongsberg Model 1914 was a slightly 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 "1918" 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 Kongsberg Crest and monogram of King Haakon. Inspection mark behind the rear sight. Matching serial numbers found on frame, slide, trigger, safety, mainspring housing, grip safety, ejector, recoil spring guide, barrel, barrel bushing, and slide release. Reportedly, the first gun shipped with the extended slide stop. Provenance: The Gus Cargile Collection

Fine, retaining 90% arsenal refurbished black painted finish with handling marks, and corner wear. Grips are also fine with worn checkering, two hairline cracks in the lower diamond on the left panel, and traces of original black varnish remaining in protected places. Mechanically excellent.
