Manufactured 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. Blade front and notch rear sights, German "crown/crown/U" proofs, Schilling "mountain man" oval logo on the right side of the frame, and a series of numbers on the individual components to denote order of disassembly. Fitted with a straw finished trigger and hammer, niter blue safety, and checkered walnut grips.

Fine, with 60% of the original blue finish, showing scattered spotting, numerous patches of pitting visible on the right side and around the grips, edge wear and mild handling marks. Traces of color are present on the small parts. The grips are very good with even moderate wear, some chips on both panels at the top, and scattered dings. Mechanically fine.
