Ayup, that's her, alright. Now about the closeup of the sheath...

not to mention the frog......

Uh, yeah. That, too. g Make that 2 things I've learned already
today. Hmm, _these_ guys call 'em sheaths:
http://www.bladesnewold.com/MilitaryBayonets.html

Lets make that 3 things....the frog...is the bit of leather than holds
the container..the sheath..to ones person. Variations on frogs can
run into dozens of different types, materials, colors and so forth.

often times, military sub organizations had a need for something
different from the herd for reasons both actual and ego.

for example...a marine group based on a ship, would have a difficult
time with a full sized 17" bayonet aboard ship, so they were issued
either cut down ones, or something utterly different

and so forth. accouterments and their reasons (or lack of reason)
can be fascinating study.

want a simple start...check out a book on American civlil war
accouterments....roflmao....

What's this ****, mon? Quoting troll limericks now, are we? It's bad
enough that you continually repost their crap by replying to them,
giving them reason to come back. sigh


i thought it was a fascinating bit of utter insanity the evil flower
uttered, and capturing it for posterity and putting it on display for
a short time would be interesting.. it will wear out its
entertainment value before long, then ill switch to something else.
