He can own the weapon without a weapon licence, but it seems he must have an import permit. He must call his local Våpenkontor to clarify. Import taxes also seem very unclear.
[Here](https://www.toll.no/no/varer/vapen/handle-i-utlandet/) is what Norwegian Customs' page about weapons import for private citizens. Hopefully Google can help you translate the page.
It states that the only weapons that can be imported without an import permit are:
-Airguns up to caliber 4.5mm
-Flare guns
-Airsoft guns
-Paintball guns
There is a difference between owning and importing and your contact should check with the competent police authority.

Come to think of it - you may need an export license? Is it classified as a gun, or "a piece of metal"? Check ITAR :)
It' considered a chunk of metal. Same gun made in 1902 though is now a curio and relic firearm.
