Just a few pics of the Lithuanian frogs found on their issued bayonets.

Re: Lithuanian frog variations
For a while they were all over eBay.
Little trick I sometimes try. Do an advanced search of eBay for a militaria item such as "blade" or "army" or "military" or something related, and choose only items from a certain country like Lithuania. Then you have a list of sellers located in that country that deal in militaria. Go through the items and choose those closest related to what you are after. Then use the "ask a question" feature to contact them, apologise for bothering them politely, and ask them if they perhaps have access to the item in question, with a link to a pic.
You would be surprised at how often you can find stuff like that.
I have some spare Lithuanian frogs somewhere, if you are interested in trading or dealing?

Re: Lithuanian frog variations
Good advice. A couple of mine came with bayonets from a friend in Lithuania and others from dealers in Latvia and Poland via eBay connections. I also have a couple spares to trade or sell. M.

Re: Lithuanian frog variations
Note: There are unlimited small variations in the fabric hangers and it would be almost impossible to collect them all. Also note the matching wrist straps on the two below. Mike

Re: Lithuanian frog variations
The Lithuanian fabric hangers have a very complex system used for belt/field gear attachment. Here are some pictures of the Velcro, snaps and plastic tab used to secure the hanger to the belt. Also a link to a video showing how it works. https://www.facebook.com/jacob.brown.90 ... 299120182/ Mike
