The Karabiner 98k equipped the vast majority of German infantry through the Second World War, and the leather frog carrying its bayonet was correspondingly standard-issue equipment across the Wehrmacht. This reproduction recreates that frog, sized and shaped specifically for the K98’s bayonet scabbard.
German K98 Mauser Bayonet Frog
This frog has been designed specifically for the Karabiner 98k, commonly known as the K98, the standard general-issue rifle of the German Wehrmacht. It attaches the K98’s bayonet scabbard securely to a soldier’s belt, keeping the blade accessible without occupying the hands. A genuine piece of German WWII field equipment, suited to a Wehrmacht infantry impression.

German M1916 Stahlhelm
SKU: AH6042The M1916 Stahlhelm was the first steel field helmet issued to German troops, developed to replace the traditional Pickelhaube once the scale of shrapnel wounds in trench warfare became impossible to ignore. First tested at the Kummersdorf Proving Ground in November 1915 and field-tested by German assault troops, it entered wider issue through 1916, its deep skirt and distinctive lugs offering genuine, effective protection. The M1916's silhouette, evoking the medieval sallet rather than the broad-brimmed kettle-hat shape favoured by British and French helmets, established the recognisably German helmet profile that would persist through every later redesign.

German Stahlhelm Front Plate (Stirnpanzer)
SKU: AH6032An armoured brow plate, introduced to German troops in April 1916 alongside the steel Stahlhelm, designed to bolt onto the front of the helmet for sentries and snipers facing sustained, direct fire. The added plate significantly increased frontal protection at the cost of considerable extra weight, making it impractical for extended wear beyond static, high-risk positions. Genuine examples are relatively rare today, since the plate's weight and limited practical application meant it saw far more restricted issue than the Stahlhelm itself.
