Original frog for TS bayonet |
|

Frog typically found on the T1 paratrooper bayonet. I have not yet got a translation of the characters on the tag. The tag is apparently the end of the soldiers toothbrush, which has been cut off and attached to the frog, this is apparently not uncommon (thanks to various BCN members for this information |

|
| LITHUANIA | ||
| Lithuanian frogs for the AKM bayonets, there are two different models a leather and a web and they attach to the gear differently, is one dress and one service? There are 3 different "green" frogs, an early fine textured pattern that is very "bright", a coarse NATO style one shown here and a finer pattern with similar coloring. There is also a desert camo version that comes in two variations |
||
  
|
Leather "dress"version of the frog | |
| No example yet | A very "bright" fine camoflage pattern, not common | |
|
2nd pattern frog has a fine patterning but uses darker colors than the first | |
  
|
3rd pattern of woodland resembles the coloring of the NATO woodland camoflage | |
   
|
Only 120 troops were apparently involved in the Iraq war, most of the ones of these I have seen are mint, mine shows signs of wear, could it be an actual issue one rahter than excess stock? | |
|
The second pattern woodland camoflage frog uses a less bright pattern thatn the first, and is simialr in construction to one of the two desert camoflage variations | |
|
|
The Desert camo version is a mix of pink and browns Only 120 troops were apparently involved in the Iraq war, most of the ones of these I have seen are mint, mine shows signs of wear, coudl it be an actual issue one rahter than excess stock? |

|
  
|
1914 modified |
|
|
|
M1914 scabbard modified by removing the original diagonal strap and adding a vertical one. This variation is not shown in Carter, although there are many variations to the conversions |
|
|
|
Another M1914 conversion, this is probably for the 1896 as the strap is lower than the above |
|

|
Volunteer frog | |
  
|
Fairly sure this is a fake made from old leather, partially on the manufacture and partly on the price paid (i.e. cheap) |

No 9 frog heavily blancoed dress frog. Is TOPP 840 the troopers name and number? |
|
 
|
Unknown "scabbard" a 1907 fits in the web, and I was told it was a scabbard made for tropical use, but the single row of stitches makes me suspicious, although I have been sent pictures of a short 1907 in a similar but shorter web scabbard, again any ideas are welcome |
|
|
CBF 168 |
Dress frog on L1A1made in 1966

|
Dress cover for the SA80 bayonet |
|
  
|
Green nylon cover for the SA80, there are several "commercial" frogs/scabbards for the SA80 despite there not being commercial sales of the type, as the British forces is the only force lumbered with this weapon |
|
  
|
Supplied as for the 1888 pattern bayonet I think this is more likely a tool holder, would welcome identification | |

Frog that came with an 84/98 fitted with a Lebel Handle is apparently an Italian made one (signs of where the conversion was done maybe?) | |

CBF 423 | Often sold on line as German these are actually Yugoslavian, The German skeleton frog has its strap further up the frog and uses straight rows of stitches with rivets. See CBF318.There are variations on the theme with different lengths |
