Scarce Kongsberg Colt M1914 Rig - 1942 Mfg

Description:
 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 1942 for use by the Germans and is one of only about 8,200 produced under German occupation. All numbered parts match, including the original barrel. It comes as a rig with two correct magazines and a rare wartime modified tan leather holster with an extra pocket for the magazine. The gun itself has retained roughly 80% of its original finish. The majority of the finish loss is on the grip straps, but there is some minor wear on both sides of the frame and around the muzzle. Fitted with excellent period-correct wood grips that were dyed black. The rifling in the bore is fairly worn with pitting throughout.
