Third Reich Dress Bayonet Frog-D.R.P. Marked

Excellent black leather frog having a riveted black metal reinforcement stamped 'D.R.P.' to the rear, which stands for Deutsches Reichs-Patent (German Imperial Patent). While some confusion exists, this marking is generally considered to indicate a patented design feature rather than a specific branch of service like the post office (Deutsche Reichspost).Henry's Military Collectables+1
