Tropical Frog Help ?

[airborne_steve]

Hi to all

I have been looking at this DAK/Tropical frog and have a few concerns. The web pattern and thread looks good but my issue is the un-even sewing at the belt loop. I have a tropical frog which I own and it also, has a very slight un-even end cap stitch but not as bad as this one. Question, is this good or bad please help.

Thank you. Steve

Hey Steve,
I was thinking the same about the stiching but that really isn't a problem. I would like however to see a photo of how the metal stub is attached.

Hello Steve,

from the pics provided (although some close-ups would be better) i can still see the hallmarks of correct period construction that i have yet to encounter on a reproduced piece.

It looks fine to me even with the "friday afternoon" workers syndrome stitching.

Patrick.

Thanks guys,


I was just a little leery about this frog I have been looking for a mint DAK frog in this color for a while. Again, thank you for your comments.

Very respectfully, Steve
