I don't have any photos on this computer, but you can see the rifle here:
Norwegian duv 41 / zf41
I have seen a handful of these in Norway, and they all seem to be real german zf41 rifles that were converted, and not just put together at Kongsberg. Mine has a bit non standard cutout in the stock, but if you look at this serial study, you'll see how it fits right in with other DUV 41 's with zf41 scopes.
The rifle is: 41 duv 3725 m WaA214, Norwegian Rework, ZF-41

I got a reply from Hanevik. He'd never seen a rifle with such mounts before, and could not tell if they have norwegian origins or not.
Another source I checked, did see the ZF41 scoped rifles on a squadleader course in 1962.
That's all I could come up with at the moment, but I'll keep searching. There's a couple of more sources I came to think of.
I'm pretty sure the "A in a circle" stamp comes from Kongsberg.

Slightly off topic, but since this is about older Norwegian militaria, do you know anyone who has parts for the Kongsberg M1911 .45 pistol? My father has one, but the clever extended slide release lever has been lost. Is there any way of finding a replacement in Norway?
(send me a private message if you don't want to clutter up this discussion)

Maple leaf: Parts do show up once in a while. Try these guys. Kongsberg Våpenhistoriske Forening
They are the "Kongsberg weaponhistoric assosiation". A group of collectors , and also with some background from Kongsberg. Maybe they can help you. Anyway, I'll keep my eyes open.
Promo: I sent a link to this thread to the above mentioned collector ring. Seems like noone have seen a rifle like this, but the A in circle stamp is definately from Kongsberg. Any chance of more and detailed pics?

I wanted to share with the forum, that I contacted the Norwegians and last week a small parcel arrived with the missing piece. Thanks folks!

And I thought I was fortunate to just own one one of the converted K98k rifles in 30-06.
Your pictures of the Norwegian reissued German model K98k Carbines and uniforms are great.
Its always a learning experience every time I go on this site.
Thank You
