        Hi Michael,

        Nice examples!! Anthony Carter in his book about bayonet frogs identifies this variation as a late war modified frog for use with a new entrenching tool design. I believe the frogs are commonly called "etool frogs". The strap likely means it was made for mounted personnel, again, according to Carter.

        Regards, Leon

          this one is RBNr stamped at the back- hard to read unfortunately...

          Ps Michael.. You going to keep both frogs in collection ????

              I am not comfortable with those, they look similar to Czech fakes I have seen. Mike, yours is a one looker, nice.

                  Sure don't Mike. I have been wrong before, so take it for what it's worth. I would have to look at it, but the leather, rivets and stitching and overall construction are not at all similar to yours which is what I expect to see. Would like to do a "sniff" test on them too.

                      I bet You are a sniffer (by the way.. .. Michel.. You missed leather carrier for a shovel dkk 44 on ebay )

                      Jeff has some concerns.. so I just asked.. IMHO Your frogs look Good - thats why I was also bidding on those. But additional pics are always good for us

                      Ciao !!!
