K98 bayonet with tropical Luftwaffe frog...

Len S · Mar 2, 2013

I went to an antique show today where I picked up a 1939 Coppel K98 bayo . It came with a blue/gray tropical frog that , I believe , are usually ascribed to the Luftwaffe. The bayonet is in pretty nice shape with some rust spotting on the scabbard. Here are some pics.

Nice, Len! I'm still looking for a Luft frog...

Thanks for the comments fellas. I've encountered four of the blue frogs in the past 15 years. One was so trashed it wasn't worth pursuing. Luckily I was able to get the other three.
