Snowed in here from the Thursday blizzard so thought I would post a portion of my late war bayonet frog collection. Have always liked collecting these frogs as there are a lot of variation in patterns, maker's, dates, etc ...... Descriptive information for each example appears below and there are some pics attached as well. The identification number information is from the book Bayonet Belt Frogs by the late Anthony Carter.
