policeluger:
I did not meen to call your rig a fake. I was only making the statement that it could not have been used by norwegian troops. Then it would not be matching.

And no... I did not serve in the brigade in germany, but my father did.. [img]wink.gif[/img]

For those of you who are interested in Norwegian weapons:

In the period 1945-the late 60's the Norwegian army used Luger P08's, Walther P38's and some Radom M35's. All of the pistols were weapons left by the german troops in Norway after the war. In the late 60's the Norwegian army stopped using all of theese and bought 24.500 Walther P1's from germany.

In the period 1945- the late 80's the Norwegian navy used Colt 1911's, 1911A1's and the Norwegian copy of theese (the Kongsberg M1914).

In the late 1980's all branches of the Norwegian forces were equipped with the Glock 17.

The Norwegian police used all types og ex-german WW2 pistols in caliber 7,65mm (CZ's, Browning's, Mauser's, Walther's...) from 1945-the late 1970's. Then they got Smith&Wesson M1910's. They still use theese today, but only on "special occasions". The Norwegian police do not carry weapons. [img]wink.gif[/img]
