Description:

Manufactured c.1896-1897 by the firm of V. Charles Schilling of Suhl, the Bergmann was developed in the mid 1890s, improved upon by Louis Schmeisser, and was produced in limited numbers in a handful of variations. Blade front and notch rear sights, German "crown/crown/U" proofs, Schilling "mountain man" oval logo on the right side of the frame, and "611" on the left side of the barrel. Fitted with a straw finished trigger and hammer, niter blue safety, and checkered hard rubber grips with "B" imprints. Includes a black leatherette case with relined green felt lining and factory Bergmann ribbon inside the lid, with space for the pistol and the following included accessories; screwdriver, barrel cleaning rod, oil container, five reproduction clips, and ten rounds of ammunition.

Rating Definition:

Fine, with 70% of the faded original blue finish, showing areas of brown and gray patina, bright edge wear, scattered handling marks and light spotting. The grips are very good, with some light scratches. The disconnector needs adjustment as the hammer does not stay cocked, otherwise mechanically functions. The relined case and accessories are fine.
