Details: This early semi-automatic handgun is one of the few designs that predate 1900, and is one of a series of handguns that Theodor Bergmann manufactured. Wikipedia states that the M1896 was built under license by Charles V. Schilling of Suhl. Three cartridges were chambered for the M1896 pistols. Approximately 2,000 small pistols designated M1896 No. 2 were chambered for the 5mm Bergmann. Production of a larger pistol was approximately 4,400 M1896 No. 3 chambered for the 6.5mm Bergmann, plus two or three hundred M1896 No. 4 chambered for the 8mm Bergmann. This pistol is the 6.5mm variety.
