Hello,
Sorry to say, but this is not the frog that you need with this kind of parade bayonet. The one you need is narrower and has a different treatment of the leather, which is often varnished. The frog shown here is for the S 84/98 bayonet, in theory for non mounted personel as it does not have a leather strap that retain the handle of the bayonet.
Thanks

thank you for the response. I bought with gift card so I'm not as bummed out, and I can put it on a different bayonet. I think it does give it some more character though. for future reference can you post pics of the frogs you are talking about, thanks!
yes it is a very nice frog and when it came in the mail today, I about went nuts when I discovered the owners name on it. I will post some pics of it!
