The story of the M1914 begins in 1912, when the Norwegian government purchased 300 Colt M1911 pistols for evaluation. Impressed by the design, Norway obtained a manufacturing license from Colt and assigned production to the Kongsberg V?penfabrikk ? the state-owned arms factory in Kongsberg ? with the first pistols entering military service in 1914. The M1914 was mechanically near-identical to the Colt M1911, chambered in .45 ACP, but featured several minor Norwegian-specified modifications including a slightly different slide marking, a distinct serial numbering system, and subtle dimensional differences in certain internal components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most distinctive external feature of the Kongsberg M1914 is the slide marking \"11.25 m\/m AUT. PISTOL M\/1914.\" ? using the metric caliber designation (11.25mm) in place of the American .45 ACP designation, reflecting Norway's adoption of the metric system for military specifications. The pistol served as the standard Norwegian military sidearm through both World Wars, remaining in production at Kongsberg V?penfabrikk with various interruptions until the factory was destroyed during World War II. During the German occupation of Norway from 1940 to 1945, the occupying forces continued production of the M1914 for use by German garrison and police units, making occupation-era examples particularly sought after by collectors. The M1914's combination of the proven M1911 action, Norwegian manufacturing heritage, and distinctive metric slide markings has made it a prized collector's piece among enthusiasts of military handguns, representing a fascinating chapter in the international adoption and adaptation of the Browning-designed Colt M1911 platform.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003e\u003cu\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eManufactured by FCW, the Kongsberg M1914 GBB pistol faithfully reproduces this Norwegian military sidearm in a gas-blowback airsoft package.

The pistol comes packaged in a double-lock hard pistol case, providing secure storage and transport that complements the piece's collector appeal.
