recently I bought a Belgian Bergmann model 1910 which most probably was delivered to the Danish Army. The stamp on the grip strap is
.L.S.K. 16.101.
Perhaps somebody can tell me what it means, please?

  Any chance it could be a Imperial German regimental marking? When the Germans invaded and occupied eastern Belgium in 1914. They took control of both the Bayard and FN firearms manufacturing facilities. It might be possible that they confiscated some Bergmann Bayard pistols that were in the process of being manufactured for the Danish Army?

  The L could stand for Livregiment. I can't find a complete list anywhere.
  A web search of livregiment pulled up sites I can't read.

  Not to argue with you, but I have run across a lot of regimentals over the years. Some so odd nobody has ever been able to identify them. Noll has a bibliography in the back of his book. Maybe one of the texts he references, could provide additional information.
  
  If this marking was put on by the Danish military while the Bergmann Bayard was in their service, rather then the Germans. I would expect to see similar markings on Danish 8mm Krags. Which would have been in much more common use in their Army then the BB's. Perhaps this would be a more fruitful avenue of research, i.e. similar markings on Danish Krags?

  Hello,
  meanwhile a Danish friend answered and he believes it is German,
