Another bit of kit for an East German enthusiast, or just a good lover of shovels - the East German style entrenching tool.

The shovels themselves do not appear to be original surplus but they do make a good friend for the covers. Another shovel hardly goes amiss anyway. While we remain skeptical of the covers, they do appear to be in accordance with historical images and it isn't unheard of for East German surplus to hide out in warehouses for ages. Some covers show a little storage corrosion and crud, but most are in very good, near perfect shape! Choose from either stock standard East German grey or the uniform that never was, UTV green.

Features:

• East German Strichtarn camouflage cover (in grey or UTV styles)
• Wooden handle
• Folding design with screw locking set up
• Use as spade or mattock
