    No5 Mk1 bayonet frog?

    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?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

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

    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.
