Norwegian-made Luger parts

Gentlemen,

After checking with the Kongsberg Arsenal, there is so far no written proof that any other Luger parts than barrels have been made there. The crowned K seems to be Kongsberg's and was probably put on spare parts that were installed during a factory overhaul. Where these parts came from is still unknown - they may be ex-German from WW2, another possibility is that Lugers were cannibalized. There were huge amounts of German guns taken as war booty in 1945. I'll keep on looking into this.
