We had a pretty interesting Husky Swede posted earlier this week... with one truly scary & troubling photo in the thread... following that theme, here's a few pics of a Norwegian Kongsberg Model 1914 (licensed pre-WWI Colt 1911) I picked up yesterday. Been looking for a decent example for awhile, they're pretty hard to find with not quite 33,000 made all told and most are beat to heck. But this one, well, it's kinda sweet. Original dark grey parkerized finish, correct "crude" lanyard-loop magazine, birch (?) grips are stained/painted black from the factory. This one was made in 1945 just after the war ended and the Germans got booted out. Interesting features include the extended slide stop and the crude-looking hammer "in the white."
