I'm thinking you're correct about the "gutted", so now I feel sorry that I didn't bid on it. Gutted or not, a vintage "pair" (they may not have been a pair if they're '88's since the left and right pouch were unmatched that year) of ammo pouches for $45 is a reasonable price even without the frog. If you snooze you lose!

the scabbard has a lot in common with this Belgian 1867 scabbard for a albini socket bayonet. Maybe hence the Liege markings, though I couldn't make them out myself. http://www.abl1914.be/HulsbajAlbini1867/HulsbajAlbini186709.JPG Guy |
