Need help - info on this entrenching tool

[anton67]

Hello,
Just picked up this WWII T-entrenching tool.
Any info would be appreciated.
Any idea of value?
Does the cover look authentic?
Thanks

Looks like the real deal to me. I see them sell from $55 on up to as high as $100 with the cover. Your tool looks significatly more worn than the cover.

looks like a good set. the shovel gets used, but not the cover. cover does show carry wear above the belt hook. takes a while to look like that.
just my observation.

Thanks a lot guys for the info. I talked the guy down to $52.50 for the tool + cover - told him that was all the money I had. Looks like I got a fair deal. He started at $75 and said he could get that on ebay. I told him he would have to pay the fees and ship it etc and he caved.

I think you got a good deal on two original items.

Cheers, Ade.
