Ed, that is simply AWESOME - I just downloaded the spreadsheet. Thank you for compiling this!
Bergmann/Lignose Database
Hi all. I have been keeping a version of a database containing serials and other data on the Bergmann/Lignose .25 cal. pistols.
I have added examples from the net when I come across them though my efforts have been sporadic. I have tried to provide references to the examples in terms of links but, again, this is woefully incomplete.
I am putting this thing in Excel on a hosting service so that you lot can download/manipulate and otherwise have your way with the data. I ask that you post additions and corrections in this thread. I will update the "Master" database to reflect these changes (probably sporadically). I am sure that some of your examples are already here. If so, please check the entry and add/fix as necessary.
The link below will take you to the spreadsheet.

You will note that I have columns for price and the presence or absence of a slide SN as well as a date for when an entry was updated.
I have summarized the data and these summaries can be found in the "stats" tab. I reproduce them below ...

Have fun and remember to add to the data here. I will update the DB and post it.
And if you tumble the data, be sure to post any insights!!

I think the original was from here. I get the urge to troll the net and find examples every now and then. I got a DB from my pal Ed Buffaloe and did a merge and purge with that data.
Sadly, there are holes in it but such things are always a work in progress.
Couple of things that might emerge are:
- getting a better handle on when the patent referred to in the D.R.P.a. inscription was awarded (what SN I mean). Thats why it would be nice to get the inscription (D.R.P.a. versus D.R.P.) recorded.
- Picking up on variations, such as the one that I recently came across
- Importer and dealer marks
I have one marked "August Schuler". What others are lurking out there? Also, I cannot recall seeing any "Germany" import marks. Is this a sign of incipient old age or were they, in fact, not imported into this country?
Interesting stuff.
