jhv 41 G.98/40 with odd marking

This is a recent acquisition from a fellow board member. It is matching and has an odd rampant lion or bear on the left of the receiver ring.

Norwegian commercial proof, possibly. Lion holding an ax.

Yep, Norwegian. Commercially proofed and exported post-war.

That is new to me. Kudos to them for not destroying the barrel and bolt then selling the rest of it as scrap.
