Frog Review

Can anyone tell me what this oversized frog is for ?
Is it for a hewer or maybe a Butcher bayonet ?
It is 34 marked on the back. I used a dress bayo for comparison to see the size, much larger the a 98K bayo frog.

Thats what I was thinking also but I do not have one to try it on.

My first thought was for the 98/05 bayonet. Actually I'm pretty sure the frog for the Red Cross EM & the 98/05 are the same size.

Hello

This frog is for a WWI 98/05 bayonet.

My first inclination was that it was a DRK hewer frog but this piece looks brown, not black. Then I thought Imperial 98/05 because of the size & overall construction. But what about the "34" on the reverse? We've seen early police frogs that are date marked in the reverse. Is it possible this is a NS zeit frog?

The Frog is Black on the front and brown on the back

Hi Billy,
I think it's definately possible this is from the NS zeit. I once had a 98/05 frog that was RLM marked and dated. Can't remember for sure, but think it was '38 or '39. However it was brown on front and back.

Sorry guys but what is a "NS zeit" ?
