Original U.S. WWI M1912 Experimental Entrenching Shovel with Picket Pin and Carrier

Original Item: Only One Available. This is an exceptionally rare excellent complete example of a model 1912 experimental entrenching shovel with a removable shovel head on the 1912 picket pin farrier hammer.

This rare entrenching tool also comes with a very nice R.I.A. 1910 marked M1905 shovel cover. The securing strap is also marked R.I.A. 1910, a great detail. All components of this entrenching tool are offered in great service-used condition. The hanger of the carrier has very heavy oxidation as shown. We've only ever seen a few examples of the 1912 experimental shovel, so don’t miss out on this example with the chain intact!

Ready for display.
