*SCARCE NORWEGIAN MODEL 1914 SEMI-AUTO PISTOL. SN 30955. Cal. 11.25 mm. This licensed copy of a Colt Model 1911 was produced in 1945 and was one of the few not Nazi proofed. It has usual 5″ bbl with standard Colt fixed sights. Left side of slide has the normal 1914 markings and the right side is dated “1945” over a proof mark.

Bottom of bbl is matching numbered also. According to Blue Book of Gun Values, Fjestad. This pistol was one of about 920 produced in 1945 and were presumably all Nazi marked. This one, however, is not Nazi proofed or if it was the markings were obliterated during a refinishing process. Mounted with diamond checkered walnut grips and accompanied by one all blue magazine that has a rounded follower and is probably a modern replacement since it is not serial numbered. CONDITION: Very good to fine, all matching except magazine and a couple of small parts which are probably not numbered to begin with. Overall retains about all of an old re-blue with some very fine pitting; grips show heavy wear with left side probably an old replacement with re-cut checkering. Mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore. 4-45818 JR379 (1,500-2,500)
