No5 Mk1 bayonet frog?

[AFJon]

So I can into a No5 Mk1 bayonet with this frog attached to the scabbard. Doesn't match anything on this website. Thoughts on who may have made it?

Much earlier simply because it's leather. By the time they made #5 rifles, they were using canvas. Is it 1888 pattern UK?

Jim,

Thanks, maybe a "local" copy of that style Frog less the rivets.

Doesn't look very durable and its obviously been resewn. Leather shrinks, in some conditions, especially if it was poorly tanned in the first place.
