Ole Tom Nord Collection 1941 Super .38 serial number 36183 - Gun is in very good condition. Most of the red paint still remains on the top of the slide. The gun has the Swartz safety (intact). The British proof marks are stamped upside down. The history behind is at least as interesting as the gun itself. The gun was issued to a Norwegian second Lieutenant serving in the "Norwegian Independent Company No 1," or as named in Norway, the "Company Linge" after the "founder" Captain Martin Linge. The soldiers from this company saw a lot of action in Norway during the WWII as did the owner of this gun as well as the rest of the company. He and the gun were in close combat with the Germans several times throughout the war. After the war the owner once and for all was done with war and guns. The gun was stored and has never been fired since. Several boxes of 38 Super ammo as issued during the war accompany the gun.
