Hi Andy,
those shown on the cover of the Junkelmann book were certainly good ot the time they were made, which was 20 years ago (actually he does not use that cut anymore now, his newest ones are a lot more like the Mainz find and probably the best ones I have seen lately). Still the straps are just too thick there as well compared to the Mainz find:
(or http://www.ledermuseum.de/DLM/vollbild/seiten/03.htm if the above doesn't work as I think it should)
I'll add a picture of my last pair later today ...
