    1907 Leather fog?

    This leather frog came to me with an Enfield 1907 bayonet but I'm doubtful about the frog actually being intended for use with the 1907 bayonet. Does anyone recognise this frog, please, and is it actually intended for the 1907 bayo or is it for something else. Obviously it could be of Britishicon Commonwealth origin rather than of U.K. manufacture. I can't see any markings and the 1907 bayonet does seem rather loose in this frog.

    Thanks for any information and help.

    I'm thinking I might have one of them but can't remember what it is on. I checked the usual suspects and it is similar to two early Britishicon frogs but has no rivets when they do.

    I think that it's slightly similar to some of the South African leather 1907 frogs but it is also a bit different. The bayonet is dated Jan 1923 by Enfield but the scabbard is of WW2 manufacture.

    Is that not a K98icon bayonet that's been shortened and ground back into a fighting knife? I did get offered something similar a couple of years ago and the vendor said it was originally a K98 bayo that had been turned into a fighting knife but it was too expensive for me. The story that I was told was that it was modified into a knife post WW2 for military use but not that long after the war.
