An original British Pattern 1939 leather bayonet frog, manufactured during the Second World War by Barrow, Hepburn & Gale (B.H. & C.) and dated 1941. These leather frogs were produced for continued wartime service and are commonly associated with the British Home Guard and other second-line units, designed to accommodate the Pattern 1907 bayonet.

Leather

The leather remains in excellent condition, remaining soft and supple throughout, showing no signs of any rips or tears, and retaining a good shape. The frog does show service use and minor wear.

Construction

All of the original stitching remains intact and secure, while all eight rivets are present, tight, and free from movement. The frog is structurally sound.

Markings

The reverse is clearly maker marked B.H. & C. for Barrow, Hepburn & Gale, together with the wartime date 1941. Also present is the E412 military inspection/acceptance stamp, indicating the frog passed official wartime inspection.

Overall

A particularly well-preserved and honest wartime example by a desirable maker. An excellent addition to any British Home Guard, Pattern 1907 bayonet.
