Greetings all,
Picked these up this weekend at one of my spots. 3 nice type 99's. 2 are all matching and 1 is a latewar in great shape but someone put an early bolt in it instead of a latewar example.
But the Gem of my outing was tthis bayonet. It was kind of like love at first sight. Guy walks into room,sees girl(bayonet)from across the room,guy then approaches girl and then does anything to get girl. lol. It caught my eye right off the bat because of the frog. Ive seen canvas type of material alot but not full burlap frogs.The way this is attached is so the frog is perminatly now on the the scabard for ever. I really have a feeling this one was field made. It just has that salty and amatuerish feel to it. The bayonet itself is also a good one having the wrap around wood grips as well a practiclly mint blade.
Just thought id show you this nice variant of a frog and if anyone else has a frog made of burlap id love to see an example as all my refernce books including the bayonet of imperial japan bok dont have a full example of a frog.
Hope you like and hope everyone is doing great out there.
