Research notes
It is accepted that this was the earliest of the 23mm case length 9mm cartridges and the D.W.M. case register refers to the cartridge simply as “Pistole Kal. 9mm No. 6 Bergmann,” It is possible that development started earlier, and the Bergmann MARS M1903 was in all probability the one used during the British Pistol Trials of 1904. Bergmann Mars No.6 round has a slightly larger base diameter than the later 9mm Bergmann-Bayard cartridges. (Erlmeier, Brandt Ref. 112).
