K98 bayonet experimental rubberized canvas Frog

**Aws** · 08-26-2016, 09:27 AM

Hello,

Some pictures of my last entry is a rare rubberized canvas with its back, the exceptional presence of a regimental marking !
It is for this type of part of an experimental production of the manufacturer Riese Berlin 1941 .
On this copy is found stamped on his back marking 2 / H.U.V I for 2 Kompanie Heeresunterkunftsverwaltung of an administration responsible for managing the infrastructure ..
If anyone has additional information on these units I'm interested. This frog was found in Brittany. Perhaps it would be possible to identify and precisely locate this units ?

Regards Aws

Hi Aws, .. Interesting example ...maybe due to material shortages and a cheaper variant to use. Sleepwalker and Fred should be able to give more into this frog.

Best Larry

A rare and interesting frog. The webbed frog looks blue instead of green. The blue ones are much rarer than the olive web frogs.

The first unit marked one I've seen from a time that saw the discontinuing of major organizational stampings, when I get back from my weekend I will have to dig through my notes. With my immediate recollection being that for some reason I associated these frogs with the German Police that started using substitutes circa 1938, and this maker often associated with other German Police items if my memory hasn't failed me. Best Regards, Fred

yes of course... :-P

no this is not police Equipment. The frogs of Fischer and Leunert made in the 1930´th years out of composition leather were used by police.
It is called "Lederaustauschmaterial" und was used by military units. It is not a experimental thing... only a try to spare leather.

This frogs you can also find with added rivets and straps. Typical for a Wehrmacht overhaul.
