[85ronnies]

Hello again chaps i also picked this up in the manchester fair at the weekend and would appreciate any help on it if you could? can anyone tell me who the maker of this hanger is i cant make it out as i am not familiar with these bayonet hanger maker mark's, also someone has told me it is quite a rare hanger i only picked it up because i love the way it's been personalised a little with the stick pin,thanks in advance for any info Ronnie

hope the pics are ok

Hi Ronnie, not one I am familiar with either? The makers location reads "Bensberg" which is in Germany, near Koln. So that appears to rule out it as being from some other country. The lack of hole for a frog stud is interesting.

Cheers, Ade.

The lack of a frog stud on the scabbard too makes me think it is a cut down scabbard with a home-made frog?

It's not a frog for bayonets. Having a vague recollection of a leather hanger for some piece of a field engineer's (?), or bandsman's (?), equipment being seen (but very, very, rarely) on bayonets as frogs. But I do not believe officially (and this is a dress bayonet which is even more unusual).

Perhaps this could also be posted to the "Field Equipment And Accessories of the Third Reich" forum to let someone there take a look? FP

Guys i have just found another frog for sale on a site exactly the same as this frog even with the police badge in it ?? there is a different bayo in it though, i cant borrow the pics from the site to show you, i dont think we are allowed to put links to it so i wont.
