K98 Tropical frog... yay or nay??
Really torn about the authenticity of this frog. I have never seen one with this maker's mark/stamp like this so I'm hoping someone experienced can help me decide. I'm leaning towards no-good on this one, just due to how dark the stamp is (not faded). Sorry these are the best pics I can get.
Anyone care to chime in?
Hello Munk...be patient the Bayo Gents will be along shortly to identify the markings and the material used on the frog.

Nice frog
The maker is Friedrich Offermann & Sohne, Bensberg (1942)
Thank you for the info. It looked to me like the marking was questionable, so I appreciate your help!
Hello,
this is an original Frog from Offermann & Söhne, Bensberg
The manufacturer produced in 1942 and 1943.
1942 in two versions.
1943 in a sand brown version.
You have the late 1942 variant with the larger opening in the bag
Thank you Sleepwalker for the info and the reference photos! Are there known reproductions/fakes of this maker?
Hello,
No, there are no fakes with this manufacturer... even none that only approximate the features of the originals of Offermann
Regards
Original as Sleepwalker stated
