Norwegian Luger?

Balder · 09-25-2003, 12:14 PM

Being a Norwegian gun collector, I have seen Lugers rebarreled with Kongsberg arsenal barrels, I have an S/42 with a Kongsberg barrel. They usually have a P under the barrel, I have never seen any with the marking you describe. The blueing on these barrels is very good and very dark, almost black. We obtained literally tons of German guns as booty after the war, many of these were used by Norwegian forces for a long time - you may even still find some in low-priority units. As far as I know the police here never used Lugers, they preferred the smaller .32 caliber pistols like Walther PP, FN Browning M1910/22, Mauser HsC aso.
