  1. These Bergman's, though it looks like a lot of Mauser C96 was applied, were the end of an era, and show the change in Military Doctrine that was coming in at the time. Ian critisies the mag removal on the early ones, but! Do you need to take the mag out that often when de rigeur was charger loading? I notice this pistol still has charger load. Also the SMG and Self Loading carbine made a pistol with stock irelevant, to bulky as a pistol, not as useful as an SMG or carbine. WW1 also brought about a lot of changes in doctrine, a slump in the world economy, lots of firearm innovation and it had been the War to End all Wars, so no major country was looking to rearm, and for the rest the market was awash with surplus. RIP Bergman.
