very interesting.

A quote on a C/96 site:

I examined the 1897 publication "Mauser Selbstlader" by R. Wille, first published in 1896, as it's one of the earliest books on the C/96.

These are two images of the 1896-1897 model, in 10 round capacity and 20 round capacity versions. They have the later type hammer, but still have the stepped barrel:
