Thumbnail image of Ethiopian leather belt frog.Thumbnail image of Ethiopian leather belt frog. Belt Frog Brown leather belt frog used for carrying the British No. 5 Mk. I knife bayonet.

According to the seller, this frog came on a British No. 5 bayonet he had obtained from Royal Tiger Imports (RTI). RTI had recently brought in a trove of British and Italian rifles and bayonets from Ethiopia, so that is probably where this frog originated.

Some of the stitching has rotted away in storage, but the leather is still pretty supple.

The frog measures 7.25 in. (185 mm.) long x 1.875 in. (48 mm.) wide.

This frog was not classified by Carter.
