Sorry, I was busy on a little bit private stuff earlier and missed posts.

The confusion of harness.... none of those were made by Mauser. I doubt there was a 'standard' harness for 1905 Mauser. There were some cased guns of that era survived in excellent shape, but I have never seen harness coming with them.

Those harness issued by German Army for WWI C96 (9 and 7,63) was standard for that period. But those were made by German government contractors, not by Mauser factory either.

So, 'correct' harness also needs a country (or issuer) context, beside the era.
