Sure, they made web frogs right up until the last day of the war I am sure, so there's your answer you so desperately wanted. Anyone who thinks web was only used and produced for DAK items isn't too bright. Just as those who think anything painted ordnance tan has got to be DAK.
That securing strap and stud in the example you show looks absolutely nothing like the frog you originally posted, which looks exactly like the repro frog that Luftpirate posted...which is a huge sticking point in your argument.
Buddy, I may have been sarcastic, but not angry, you don't know angry, and if I am you will surely know.
I just calls 'em as I see's 'em. Your post strikes me as many posts over the years I have seen from guys who have made up their minds whether they admit it or not, that their item is good, and come up with every possible reason why its real and original no matter how unlikely it appears to be. Nothing wrong with that, argue your case to your hearts content, but I am allowed to have a differing opinion.
I am looking forward to seeing more opinions. Just from what I have seen posted, and pics provided, I have to lean to the no good side. Don't really care if you agree or not, I watch these threads for the amusement, entertainment value. You sure you weren't previously known as Shooter Ike?
Again, I don’t know if you have problems with understanding what I write or you just choose to make stuff up. I wrote that the base material, weave pattern are very similar if not the same as the ones I posted, I never said that the cross strap is the same, stop putting words in my mouth.
I presented pretty big evidence in my opinion and you chose to simply ignore it or just change the subject.
The fact is I presented a proof that the weave pattern is similar, if not the same as on original late war examples.
Going further, I’m 100% sure, you will not post or even find a reproduction webbed frog made with this kind of base material with that weave pattern. The market should be full of this stuff.
I will not shoot down an item without having a proof that it is a repro, and if someone can present it, I will gladly accept it. So far no one commented on the weave pattern which is the same as with late war originals, neither posted a repro frog made from this kind of a material.
Instead of focusing on the subject, and bring something to the table, you get angry, sarcastic and playing detective. It’s my first time on this forum, never been here or had an account here before. So far you provide a little bit of entertainment but not much useful stuff for which this forum is built.
I believe there’s a big chance that the frog posted is sub thread as “repro sold on eBay” might be a real one, or made post ww2 with wartime czech parts (cross strap).
If Germans were using captured British, French, Russian, Polish, Italian materials to make equipment, I’m sure they used Czech parts. They were sitting in this country for 5 years.
