Seeking help on the markings shown on this harness. Maker is in Stuttgart but I can't make out the rest of the markings. Other side has a depot (?) marking. Thanks in advance.

Found info on the LZ markings:
Leather issued and controlled by L.Z.St.Stgt. per holster's marking.
L.Z.St.Stgt. = Leder-Zuweisungs-Stelle, Stuttgart = Leather Allocation District office, Stuttgart.
The L.Z.St.Stgt. was positioned to support the Imperial Army's XII(KW) district's General Command location in Stuttgart. KW = Koeniglich Wuerttemberisch = Royal Wurttembergian
Still looking for the makers info.

That other stamping is going to be hard to decipher Greg. Hopefully someone here might have seen it before.
Maybe Herman Weissenburger & Cie, Stuttgart-Cannstatt? They were an imperial retailer/supplier. I also think they made M16 helmets as well as Haubes (I think)
Nice however to find a harness. They are not easy to come by!
Nice seeing you on this forum too!

"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Thanks for the reply and info, good to see you at both places.

The only circular cartouche for a Stuttgart maker that I know of is WEIDENBACHER & CLOSS, STUTTGART.
Difficult to match it, conclusively, to such a dark image. Try playing with the light source a little, hitting it from different angles (quite low or obliquely can be effective)..
