Viet Nam period modification to the 37 pattern webbing, by the addition of belt hooks for American style webbing belts

Just freely available is a web frog for the FN FAL Tubular bayonet, there are several variations to this frog both in colour and style - i have heard of around 30 so far. The  interesting thing is that the hilt strap is loose and moves up and down. This is made by Miles Equipment Company in 1951.

The front of the frog has been replaced (period) with late war thin leather face that almost appears to be like paper (style of front is more that of one for an 1895 than an 84/98). Frog is marked as 1940 made 4th INTENDENTURA which translates as something like supply department (thank you Adam Lubas).
