Description
4/22/20 – 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. It is fully matching and original.¬ The profile view shows excellent, original finish with minor high edge wear, but the straps show some thinning throughout.¬Excellent, original grips with no major defects.Strong, shiny bore with only minor hints of use.
