Hi,

C for grade being linked to the quality of the material used?

In advance thank you

Funnily enough, I just got this 1944 Russian E-Tool - now I know how a carrier looks like, what to get...THX!
What's the price of these? (I mean the carrier)

Cheers,
Fabe

Hi Fabe, this type of carrier is not common and is hard to find.

There were several different types of carriers used during the war. Here is mine with a 44 dated shovel. This style would be seen much more often.

Cheers, Ade.

Thank you Ade, this one looks just like the post-war Hungarian M50 carrier - another "Soviet copy"... Next month I'll look for a WW2 Russian carrier.
