Leather Maker Marks

[soalebm]

I was wondering if the leather maker marks ynd on belts extend to bayonet frogs or if seperate companies made frogs? If so is there any good book or website that lists the makers marks for bayonet frogs? I saw a frog marked KVZ 1943 the other day and wondered who made it.
Thanks

KVZ is the maker mark for, Timmermann & Wollet, Heidelberg the Nash book has a list of leather workser in it or buy the book "German Military Letter Codes" by John Walter or have a look at this website, full of information

"German Military Letter Codes" by John Walter

A fantastic reference book, if you can find it

I got this book at a gunshow it has most of the codes in it.

I wonder if that is a book someone published to sell locally or if I can get my hands on one here in Ohio.

Hi, it must have been done locally as there is no publishing info at all.
