Dateline: April 9 1940, Germany launches Blizkrieg against Norway.In short order Norway falls on June 10th.The Nazi occupation ended at the end of the war with Germany's surrender.
The Norwegian 1914 was a modified copy of the US 1911.These "occupation" pistols were produced in '41,'42,and'45. 8,223 were produced and the last 935 were waffenamp stamped. Most of this production was used by the occupying German forces.
This example was delivered to the German occupying forces in April 1942.The black holster was used by the Navy or KM.

Very nice Kongsberg pistol! I only seen them with WA stamps, and looks like a Germans who served in my area was equipped with that kind of pistols, due of I had seen them in Estonia
