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".

Bergmann 1893 - 7.5mm Swiss Revolver

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.

Bergmann 1897 - 7.8mm Bergmann

The Bergmann 1897, also known as the Bergmann No. 5, was the first locked-breech Bergmann pistol, and also the first Bergmann pistol using a detachable magazine instead of a fixed magazine loaded with Mannlicher-styled clips. Aimed at military contracts, the Bergmann 1897 used a more powerful round known as the 7.8mm Bergmann. The pistol was reviewed by the Swiss and British militaries, but failed to get any contracts.
