K98 Scabbard stamp ?

**Mosin** · 05-27-2017, 08:09 AM

Hi, my k98 scabbard has no number on it, just a stamp on the extension where it locks the frog ?

There is H34 stamped on it, someone nows what this means ?

Thanks in advance...

In the absence of Mosin's photos, a question for Aws; that's an interesting "furry" leather frog, any marks?

Nothing, no other mark..

I once had (since sold) a Spanish contract K98 bayonet with an identical "furry leather" frog, very rough with marks that were unreadable. I always wondered if it was late war production.

The Spanish contract bayonets have a WaA253 (where they were not removed in the factory) which would make them earlier than the 1941 Portuguese contract bayonets. As for the frog it's hard to say because some later ones have a smoother finished leather. Best Regards, Fred
