The Wess slide mount AGX510K is a full-frame black slide mount.  My 
negatives mounted in this slide mount show clear film on all four sides of 
the frame.  I don't use it as often as the Gepe because it is black and I 
can't write the file numbers on the mount with an ordinary Sharpie.  It's 
also a little thicker than the Gepe and takes up more room in the bulk 
slide scanner, but when I have a negative with important information at the 
edges, I always use this mount.
