German M 1884/98 WWII bayonet frog by CARL HEPTING & co.- STGT-FUERBACH. (AC307)
German made K98 black leather bayonet frog for all WWII M 84/98 models. 4 alloy rivets and a central stitching. All stitching intact. Backside shows the German maker stamp in two lines: CARL HEPTING & Co over STGT- FUERBACH. (= Stuttgart-Fuerbach). Hard to read.
One alloy washer is missing. Hence the price.
Very nice marked example. ( AC 307) Also see Roy Williams's book: A collectors guide to German Bayonet frogs 1825-1945. Page: 210 and 235.
