    Yes we find a wide variety of models on the Eastern Front Thank you JP

    Regards, Lars
    In France, we also find a great variety of shovels from all captured troops in 1944-45...

    Just to make the confusion total Some shovels with metal ring/band are referred to as post war as well, right

    Cheers

    This is a "spare" flat entrenching tool that I have. Its complete with its carrier which is also marked. There not the best photos I know but better ones can be taken if needed. This is I believe all original as it came privately with a few other items of no great significance but were left behind after the war was over.

    Hi,
    Not sure on the true value, but seen them for as low as £50 and as high as £175. So its dependent on condition and who has it but they must be worth over £100 for a nice clean shovel with a good original case and marked up nicely.

    I like how most people think it is a German invention, but it is not

    Military equipment of the 20th century: Fodfolksspade M1870: The Linnemann entrenching-tool - Den Linnemannske Spade

    It was exported to/ or produced on license by Denmark (country of origin), Poland, France, Russia, Norway, Germany, Finland, Austria, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Belgium, East Germany, Poland, Romania and many others

    The Germans nicked quite a number of entrenching tools from the Danish army when they invaded. They early Danish shovels had a re-enforcing band around handle.

    Hello,
    For a german WWII shovel itself, prices are between 40 and 100 euros, depending of the seller, condition, year of production etc....for a german WWII cover in leather, i've seen them between 200 and 400 euros....i sold one 1939 dated in mint condition for 400 euros...for a german cover in pressed cardboard (like yours) i've seen them between 180 and 400 euros, also depending of the condition, seller, rarity etc....i've seen a simplified (with belt loops sewn at the back) cover in yellow pressed cardboard in mint condition selling for 450 euros.
    The most expensive set i've seen so far was a mint 1943 dated folding shovel in a 1944 dated 2nd type carrier in yellow pressed cardboard (i've seen only two in my collecting life), for 850 euros...it was a real beauty
    Thanks

    I noticed
    But it is a common misconception among collectors.
