Original WWII German K98 bayonet frog. A well-used but honest example that shows genuine service wear while remaining structurally sound throughout. This is not a mint frog, but it is a solid, period piece that would still improve the presentation of a good K98 bayonet.

Leather

The leather remains firm and retains a good overall shape. There is clear wear to the rear face, consistent with service use, but no structural failure. All stitching is present, intact, and secure. The front face, particularly around the scabbard lug slot, remains in very good condition and presents well — this being the most visible area when mounted.

Rivets & Hardware

Fitted with four original brass rivets, all intact and tight. The rivets display a natural green verdigris patina, which is a positive sign of age and long-term originality. No signs of replacement or later interference.

Stud Slot

The scabbard lug slot to the front is clean, well-defined, and shows minimal distortion. This area remains in excellent condition.

Overall

A decent, service-worn WWII K98 frog with honest wear and good structural integrity. Not a collector-grade mint example, but a genuine wartime frog that would sit well with a correct bayonet.
