Is this a LW-Dress bayonet-frog? It´s a chocolate-brown lack-frog.

That's a combat 84/98 bayonet frog.

But it seems to be chocolate-brown lack! All my other frogs are normal blackend leather.

brown frogs are generally associated with luftwaffe, to be 100% luft I think it would need to be unit marked

As stated, it appears to be a service (combat) bayonet frog to me also. And if I'm judging the lighting values correctly, with the brown finish that most Luftwaffe frogs have. That said, some also have a brown unfinished leather (fairly scarce), and even black for the last issues from one maker. In my experience possibly only one half or so are unit marked. What I look for is the "L.B.A." marking which with some frogs can be obscured by the condition of the leather, hard use, etc. FP
