In 96% original all very sharp matching condition, we have a very scarce German occupation made, 1941 dated M1914 Kongsberg-Colten Pistol and the hard to find proper Norwegian Holster. This pistol was known to the Germans as the P14 (n) or also as the Pistole 657 (n). This is the Norwegian version of the Colt 1911 Pistol. This Pistol was among the pistols that were produced at Kongsburg Arsenal under German control and it was shipped to the Feldzuegstab Nord, ArmeeOberKommando Norwegen on December 20, 1941. This is a totally matching textbook completely orthodox example. The bore is excellent.
These pistols were widely used by the German Naval forces operating out of Norway and they are commonly seen in photos of the period. These pistols were made in 1941,42 and 45, but only the ones built in 1945 were actually waffenamted. This pistol also comes with a Kongsberg Arsenal letter as well, but all the information can be found in the book Kongsberg Colten.
Scotty’s Collector Comments…Absolutely one of my favorite pistols, I have always been fascinated by WWII in Scandinavia. These wartime German Occupation pistols are quite scarce and this is a top example. When buying one make sure the original matching barrel is present. If not do not mess with it.
