[PanzerWolf]

Hello. Dear colleagues, please advise on the originality of the thread stitching for this k98 bayonet frog.
it was made by Gustav Sudbrack in 1941.

Its a LW type frog, nice preserved.

[PanzerWolf]

Maybe someone knows where the claim came from that frogs with short stitching are related to the Luftwaffe?

[AndyB]

Tousand of frogs of this type were reported with LW units or inventory stamp of LBA,Since 1941 was the LBA not stamped on frogs.

[Sleepwalker]

This is not an claim but a fact. You can read it in the "ANZUGORDNUNG FÜR DIE LUFTWAFFE (L.A.O.) L.Dv. 422 Abschnitt A Bestimmungen über Beschaffenheit, Sitz und Trageweise der einzelnen Bekleidungs- und Ausrüstungsstücke" ab 1935 (ORDER FOR THE AIR FORCE (L.A.O.) L.Dv. 422 Section A Provisions regarding the nature, fit and manner of wearing of individual items of clothing and equipment since 1935).

Thank you. Is there a source of information (document or order) that the LBA stamp was stopped applied in 1941?

[AndyB]

You should ask SW, as he is the frog expert, but similar things appeared, i dont known about LW marked frogs since 1942 that would have had a LBA stamp.

Thank you. I read this material. But the information in it does not quite coincide with the above. Perhaps the changes were described in later editions.
