Carter classified this frog as #267.

According to Carter, The "BD III" marking, dated 1916, shows that the frog was made at the Clothing Depot of the III Bavarian Army Corps (Bekleidungs-Depot des III.  Bayerischen Armee-Korps), based near Nuremberg.  It is possible that frogs were supplied to the Depot before being issued, rather than being made there. The frog is also marked  to the 1st Bavarian Infantry Regiment who formed part of the III Bavarian Army Corps.

Carter classified this frog as #311.

This example was made by Gebruder Klinge of Dresden in 1937.  The frog has 4 aluminum rivets and is of sewn construction. Hilt strap is missing.

Carter classified this frog as #316.

According to Carter, the color of these frogs varied, with the earliest type being olive drab in color. As the Afrika Korps only existed for two years, these frogs are very scarce.  Fakes are far more common than legitimate examples. This example came on this 1939 Elite-Diamant bayonet.

Carter classified this frog as #293.

This was a very common frog, sold commercially for use with dress bayonets. This example came on this Third Reich Period Fireman's Dress Bayonet.

Carter classified this frog as #29.

According to Carter, Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary all used the #29 frog. The vast majority are unmarked. The identification of this example as Hungarian is based on the fact that it came on a Hungarian bayonet and had obviously been on the scabbard for a very long time.

This example is the first of the two subtypes that Carter classified as #154. This subtype has a 1 1/4 inch (32 mm.) upper loop and a 1 1/2 inch (38 mm.) lower loop.

According to Graham Priest's book, Spirit of the Pike, Indian textile firms utilized a different species of cotton, which resulted in this rather coarse weave webbing. K.E.F. is believed to be a private firm, however, its identity is not yet known. Hopefully, further research will shed some light on this.

Web belt frog that came on this SP.1 bayonet. Although copied after the British Pattern 1937 frog, this is a most unusual variant.

The frog is constructed of three different types of webbing. The body is made from dark blue (or faded black) cotton. The scabbard loops are made from dark green cotton. The hilt strap is made from olive green nylon.

Carter classified this frog as #337.

Carter classified this frog as #351.

According to Carter, this type frog was probably made post-1940.  An oval opening in the frog was to allow a cloth strap on the tunic to pass under the belt, through the frog opening, to a button on the uniform. This was supposed to keep the weight of the bayonet from pulling the soldier's belt down at the side.

Carter classified this frog as #361.

The frog is made of layers of cloth, impregnated with glue, as a substitute for leather. The frontpiece is attached with stitching and reinforced with rivets.  However, the belt loops are formed using glue alone.

Although in quite good condition, the frog is stiff as wood and can no longer be removed from the scabbard without damage.

This frog is made of black leather, with an integral clip that secures the scabbard to the frog. The reverse features slide keepers, similar to those introduced by the USA with the M1956 Load-Carrying Equipment.
