British Commonwealth Entrenching Tool.

£2.50

The 1908 Entrenching Tool returned in WW2 to replace the 1937 Linnemann Tool that had been introduced with the 1937 Pattern equipment. The pouch had slimmer straps and buckles than the 1908 to enable it to fit with the 1937 pattern. This model has the correct Helve (wooden handle) for WW2, the bayonet attachment came in late WW2 but did not seem to be issued during the war.

You will be purchasing a scale model of a real item. The model may require removing of supports and some sanding and filling. We would recommend washing in some warm soapy water or Isopropyl Alcohol before painting to remove any remaining residues. Hanging Straps are indicative of how the packs were hung but the straps may not be suitable for your requirements and are fragile so would be best replaced with tape straps.

Not suitable for children under the age of 14
