Bergmann-Bayard 1910/21

...and here's what it looks like this afternoon. It took some work, research and a few hours on the lathe to get it fixed up, but I'm pretty happy with it.

Outstanding!!!

Did you get the measurements you needed???

What cartridge does it shoot??? And what was the change from '1910' to '1910/21'???

The caliber is 9mm Bermann, but I believe that it will interchange with 9mm Largo. Not sure that I will ever shoot it, but ammo is available.

I got some dimensions from a Danish collector, but he only had a broken pin to measure so some dimensions were missing. I made a few brass prototypes, and when I had one I believed in I made one of steel. Then I found another Bergmann collector in TX, and he arranged for a gunsmith to make another pin and a locking pin, using original parts as a template. The locking pin in it now is one I made, using the pin from TX as a template but with a slightly different design. I also had to make the brass escutcheons and the grip screw, as the old parts wouldn't fit the repro grips. In other words, it was a long journey to get it right.
