This is a nice original Wehrmacht (Heer) Shovel/Entrenching Tool with Carrying Case (Spaten mit Spatentasche). 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 carrying case is made of a 'Ersatz' material (simulated leather) having two leather loops and could be worn on the load carrying waist belt. The carrying case is not visible maker marked or dated. The shovel is nicely maker marked by the company 'Fimag' and dated 1939, there is also a 'H' marking indicating the 'Heer'. The set is in overall very good condition, hard to find original entrenching tool!
