WW2 German K98 Bayonet Frog – Late War – Good Condition

A late World War II German K98 bayonet frog, exhibiting the materials associated with the latter stages of the war. The frog remains structurally excellent, and is a  strong, honest example that displays well and fits perfectly with a late-war K98 bayonet. Construction & LeatherManufactured using a more economical grade of leather, consistent with known late-war production when material shortages were widespread. The leather shows expected age, but remains strong, and has kept a good shape. Stitching & RivetsAll original stitching remains present, tight, and secure throughout. The original four rivets are correctly placed, with no signs of replacement or tampering. MarkingsFaint impressions are present on the reverse. Under strong light, there is the possibility of a 1945 date, however this is not clear enough to state definitively and is mentioned only for transparency. OverallA very solid and attractive late-war K98 frog, showing honest wartime manufacture and surviving in excellent structural condition. An ideal pairing for a late-production K98 bayonet. Historical NoteLate-war K98 bayonet frogs of this type are illustrated and discussed in A Collector’s Guide to German Bayonet Belt Frogs, 1825–1945 by Roy Williams, where simplified leather construction is documented as a response to material shortages during the closing phase of the war.
