Its the only republican revolucionary frog  ever seen.

By obvious reasons owners destroyed such items than in Franco fascist country will carry you to a firing wall.

Fascism also burn this items.

Some people said to be fake, but I found the frog 25 years ago buying riding horse seats in leather Workshop called El Valenciano in the center on Madrid, it was there under hundreds of leather retails and old equipment.

Scabbard is also rare because all were black dyed in the 40s.

Bayo its nice but not outstanding.
