Nice bayo! May I ask how you came by it? I wouldn't think these would come up on the market often being for an honor guard/drill team.

Nice find
Jim

Whats the frog made from-appears to be the old P37 type used with the SMLE P07 bayo.

My wife was in the AFG when she was in the Army...she did the changing of the guard at Buck house, and is apparently one of the few females to guard the Crown Jewels....anyway, her ex husband was also fed guard, he "acquired" the bayonet when he left and gave it to me....it's a case of who you know, and what they are willing to give you when
they ask you for a favour!

The frog is made out of the same web material as the new ceremonial belts....it is similar in construction to the old SLR frog, but made of the new material
