Yes, it was a WW2 thing. It has very few markings, but it does say Electrolux on the slide. I have little knowledge of its history, and I have no idea if it's authentic or someone's idea of a joke, as it was part a vast collection of WW1 and WW2 weapons that belonged to my friend's father who passed away last year. Mainly Mausers, Springfields, and Enfields, several broom handle pistols in the full spectrum of condition, various other European pistols, and about 30-40 1911s in boxes and cases. It's quite a collection. He even spent a good bit of time in his last decade restoring sporterized rifles to their original, manufactured condition.Electrolux 1911 pistol.
Probably a WWII thing.
There are a lot of people say a lot of Electrolux products suck.
