de Valk KS98 Frog

[Luftm40]

I was on a family get away this week and found this in a small antique store. The bayonet is just a nice ish standard KS98 w/ red felt in the slot. What caught my eye though was the frog...made by de Valk in occupied Amsterdam. It is a very unique color..a reddish brown w. brown stitching and appears to be patent leather. The whole rig has that dusty, crusty look to it so I'm pretty sure has always been together..Polizei? Luftwaffe?...I'm not sure

Bill, thanks...that is the same frog alright! Mine looks as though it has been paired w/ the bayonet forever. In fact, there is no way to get the bayo out without breaking the leather as it is somewhat brittle
