Summary[edit]

Description
English: Museum mannequin dressed in a 1914-pattern field uniform worn by a private infantryman in the Norwegian Army before and at the outbreak of the Second World War in German-occupied Norway 1940:
  • Winter cap (ski cap) with ear flaps and national cockade
  • Tunic with four patch pockets and trousers with red piping. In 1914 the new 'mountain-grey' (fjellgrå) uniform with red piping were standard for all troops. The colour had been in use by some units since 1902 and varied from dark green to clear grey. The uniform was worn with a kepi style cap, but different ski caps or winter caps (finnmarksluer) were also used. The officer's tunic had pleated pockets, the other rank's tunic had pockets without pleats, and the light summer tunic was without breast pockets.
  • Brown leather belt with cartridge pouches
  • Leather shoes/ankle boots
  • Knitted mittens with "Selbu pattern".
  • Backpack with frame.
  • The mandatory model 1894 Krag–Jørgensen rifle
In 1914 the new 'mountain-grey’ (fjellgrå’') uniform with red piping were standard for all troops. The colour had been in use by some units since 1902 and varied from dark green to clear grey. The uniform was worn with a kepi style cap, but different ski caps or winter caps ('finnmarksluer') were also used. The officer's tunic had pleated pockets, the other rank's tunic had pockets without pleats, and the light summer tunic was without breast pockets.
In 1934 there came a new version without piping for privates, while officers and n.c.o.s had green piping on the tunic and double green stripes on the trousers. The private's pockets got pleates, and the tunic had oxidized buttons showing both in front and on the pocket flaps. All metal insignia except for generals and the Coast Artillery were inn dull silver.
A British mark I steel helmet was introduced in 1915. In 1931 production was started in Norway of a helmet of Swedish design. From 1935 this helmet got a helmet plate with the Norwegian lion.
During the Second World War both patterns uniforms were used, the most common among rank and file being the 1914-pattern, while most officers used the 1934-pattern. The most common over-coat was the old dark blue 1894-pattern. Steel helmets were used, but the most common headdress were different kinds of winter-caps.
When the army was rebuilt in exile from 1940, there were some confusion regarding insignia and other details. During 1941 order seems to have been reestablished. The Norwegian army wore British pattern battledress. The service-dress was either a modified British tunic without shoulder straps, or a tunic with pockets like the Norwegian 1934-pattern tunic. Rank insignia, cap badges etc. were of the Norwegian pre-war type, and officer's rank insignia were worn on the collar both on the tunic and on the battledress.

Norsk bokmål: Utstillingsdokke i Den norske hærens «fjellgrå» (grågrønne, grangrønne) feltuniform i modell fra 1914 for menige soldater i infanteriet:
  • «Finnmarkslue», grågrønn militærlue/vinterlue/skilue i ulltøy, med øreklaffer knappet opp på toppen og kokarde (rosett) i nasjonalfargene
  • Jakke med fire utvendige lommer
  • Rød passepoil (kantsnor) på jakke (langs krage og mansjetter/ermeoppslag) og bukse (i sidesømmene)
  • Kraftige sko
  • brunt lærbelte med patrontasker
  • Strikkevotter med selbumønster
  • Ryggsekk med meis
  • Krag-Jørgensen-gevær M1894; geværet var hovedvåpenet i det norske forsvaret fram til andre verdenskrig
  • Ved krigsutbruddet i 1940 var både den fjellgrå/grønne uniformen i modell fra 1914 og en modernisert modell fra 1934, særlig blant offiserer, i bruk blant norske hærstyrker. 1914-uniformen hadde røde passepoiler og offisersdistinksjoner på krage (stjerner og galoner/tresser) eller om underermene, og kepier (sylinderformede skyggeluer) med galoner som offisersdistinksjoner, eller skiluer og finnmarksluer uten, men alle med luemerke (luestolpe med kokarde).
Endringen i 1934 innebar uniformer uten passepoiler, med synlige knapper og folder på lommene for menige, mens offiserer blant annet fikk grønne passepoiler om den høye dobbelte kragen og omkring ermeoppslagene, og grønne beiser i buksene. Selv om stålhjelmer og kepier var i bruk, var vinterlua (finnmakslua) vanligst blant menige. Offiserene hadde kepi eller den nyeste modellen skilue der øreklaffene løp sammen foran.
Da felttoget i Norge i 1940 var over og norske hærstyrker ble etablert i Skottland, fikk soldatene britiske battledresser (disse ble byttet ut med amerikanske feltuniformer i 1951, men ble beholdt som permisjonsuniform).
