just a quick question although i think ive got it right,i've just got myself a no4 bayonet and frog and went to put them together and i assume the metal button on the scabard fits between the two loops on the frog,i only ask because to fit it i had to remove two tiny screws from the lip of the scabard and remove the lip before i could get it to fit then re-fit the lip and screws afterward ,have i got that right? i know there probably is a thread with this but after three pages of search i thought i'd just ask.

Give me a big enough hammer and a place to stand and I could fix the world.
i'll kill a man in a fair fight or if i think he's going to start a fair fight or over a woman or.......
a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well
not blonco'd yet but thats the way ive fitted it ,it looks right to me but...

Yes, that's right... though that is probably a very late frog.
I got one of those from SoF recently, and it is effectively useless. My other one (which Webby gave me) has a slit in the top loop, through which the stud fits.

it did come from costa fortune but it wasnt marked as reproduction,anyway as has been said its fitted corectly and im a happy man ,thanks

My original '43 dated frog is a b*gger to fit a pig sticker scabbard into. Very tight top loop, but still loose enough to allow semi-fee rotary movement.

A lot of the SoF repro kit doesn't take the blanco very well,quite a few mentions in threads in the past ,best use something like Warren's
That's interesting,I gave up on repro webbing because it all kept coming out a different colour from the originals,ended up flogging it all.
The only repro SoF stuff I tried blancoing was a pair of anklets, which came out very patchy. They had looked "normal" and not waxy before blancoing. I believe it's because they're using modern fibres?
Anyway, I won't be buying any more - although originals are becoming rarer, I will only be buying original from now on.

recon warm water will be fine as im not a proper soldier,then blanco,i thought you were meant to wet webbing before blancoing anyway,its what ive allways done till now anyway.

Ah, I've just been reading the "wank" book 
and it shows that there was a securing tab used with the slitless frogs to keep the bayonet in place.
