In the late 19th century, German gunsmith Louis Schmeisser designed a line of early semi-automatic pistols, which were produced by Theodor Bergmann. The very first Bergmann Pistol was the 1892/1893 model, which did not have a number (and was in many ways just a prototype). Following that was the No. 1 pistol, also known as the 1894 model. The Bergmann 1896 was Theodor Bergmann's first commercial success. The Bergmann 1896 was produced in small numbers in 1896, in three calibers: 5mm Bergmann (designated No. 2), 6.5mm Bergmann (designated No. 3), and 8×22mm Bergmann (designated No. 4). In 1897, an updated version with a detachable magazine was introduced, known as the Bergmann 1897 (or No. 5) but it was less successful. Behind it followed the M1898 and M1899 prototypes.

The Bergmann-Bayard was a series of successor designs produced by Bergmann, subcontracted to the Belgian firm Anciens Etablissements Pieper. AEP produced the Bergmann 1903 commercially with license under the trade name "Bayard", hence the name "Bergmann-Bayard".

The Bergmann 1893 was a prototype Bergmann pistol that was never commercially offered. The pistol was originally designed and patented in 1892 by Hungarian watchmaker Otto Brauwetter, and the design was refined by Louis Schmeisser and developed into the model 1893. The pistol was apparently designed with a Swiss military trial in mind, but it was unsuccesful when it participated in these trials. There are no known surviving examples of the model 1893.
