I don't like the rivets or the long strap, but it does have the appearance of some age to it, maybe an older reproduction? I would find a less questionable example. Nice 84/98, especially with matching numbers!

From my own perspective I would be looking for another frog myself - with the central line of stitching typically extending down past the lower set of rivets. Best Regards, Fred

Good luck, just remember that decent examples can be had in the $50-$75 range, I would stay closer to $50 on this one.
