Today I had the opportunity to amend some previous in-depth articles regarding the collectibles mentioned in the title bar. It has always been my intention these articles were meant to include new relative information, photos or be amended if needed for the benefit of our Forum members. Having done so just now, thought I would include a post with all the URLs since they were drafted more than eight years ago.

BEHOERDEN & EXPORT S84/98 BAYONETS DURING THE THIRD REICH (REV.) II w/PHOTOS

Standard German S84/98 T3 Frogs
In this next thread, I want to present an array of what are considered standard military frogs for the S84/98 T3. From 1934 to 1945 there are a number of subtle variations found in the manufacture of these frogs. This is attributable to the large number of manufacturers engaged in producing...

German Police & Unusual Markings on Standard Frogs
Police frogs for the S84/98 T3 are found treated with what might be considered "Police Brown" color. Those made prior to 1941 are usually very nicely constructed. Subsequent issue of frogs for the Police appear to be lacking, so is likely the Feldgendarmarie took to wearing frogs dyed black and...
