We have seen finely carved flasks for calivermen of the Royal Saxon Trabantenleibgarde of the Electors Christian I and II, ca. 1590, retaining their original leather frogs, in posts # 2 and 5 above.
Here is another good sample retaining most of its original blued finish on the iron mounts, including the frog hook, ca. 1590.
