Entrenching Tool 08 pattern

£1.00

The 08 Pattern entrenching tool was used from 1908 until 1923 and then from approx 1940 throughout the war. In 1944 the wooden Helve was changed so the pig sticker bayonet could be added to help probe for mines although little to no evidence exists of these being issued during ww2.

This model comes in two parts and i would suggest putting them together before trimming using the base on the wooden helve to hold it upright while the 08 tool is slide over.

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
