Did the K.u.K. cavalry use sabre frogs (Sabeltragevorrichtung) mounted to saddles? I never saw it on a photos but I found some copies on a market. I'm a little bit confused because this copies are adapted to be mount on left side of saddle. Usually there should be a bag for horse shoes and there is no space for sabres. In Polish cavalry regulations from 1919 which are adopted K.u.K. cavalry regulations there is no mention about sabre frogs also.
Her is photo of frog copy:
It is similar to Prussian sabre frog but there are some differences (different pocket and stitched stabilisation strip).

No. Only on waist-belt.Did the K.u.K. cavalry use sabre frogs (Sabeltragevorrichtung) mounted to saddles?
Re: Sabre frogs mounted to saddles
Thanks for reply. Do you have any suspicions what could be origin of frog from photo? My suspicion is that it is Czecho-Slovakian. They used saddles similar to Prussian, so the frog could be also similar. Unfortunately I didn't find any photo that confirm my theory yet.

Maybe ... I specialize only in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Re: Sabre frogs mounted to saddles
Hello. I found sketches of A-H sabre frog. See pics below. It seems that it was used for M.99 artillery saddles. Does anyone have more information about this frog: dimensions, detailed drawings or photos?
