German para-military Entrenching Tool with Carrying Case (Spaten mit Spatentasche) as probably worn by SA and/or HJ members. The entrenching tool was a basic item issued to all EM/NCO’s and was issued with a specific carrying case that was to be worn on the belt. The brown leather carrying case is having two leather loops and could be worn on the load carrying waist belt. The carrying case is not visible marked or dated. The shovel is marked 'Pionier Gussstahl'. Hard to find original early pre-war set in good used condition!
