Vietnam 1951 E-TOOL question...

[SHaKaL]

Anyone know where to get that e-tool in Canada?
Don't want to use Ebay as i don't have-want paypal...

Does a repro exist?

I already have the 1956 cover.

Thanks

Je vais te passer mon deuxième qui est une pelle que Canadian Tires vend, pas mal exacte mais un côté de la pelle est une scie ce que l'original a jamais eu... Ã* part pour les modifs illégales de certains soldats.

That crap tire shovel is shit. The metal is soft and easy to bend. I'm still looking for a 1951 E-TOOL as well.

Then who knows, maybe I'll end up in a crazy trench fight battle with an etool

It's just for the aesthetic, I don't plan to shovel sandbag or trench with it

Don't any company make repro of them?

If not; i will try to find someone to order one for me on Ebay.
Or i will order one from Moore Militaria and try to sell the 1956 cover

I have an original trench tool and I really don't want to go at it with it, it's already pretty banged up. So to carry around in the cover the CT one is perfect: same size, same color and same weight. For 15$ I think it's a very good deal.

Handle is the same?

Est-ce que ce modèle fait l'affaire? Is this close enough?

lol funny story I actually found one of these '65 dated out in the bush where some kids were using it to build fortifications for their soft air games (yellow and lime green bbs all over the place). This thing was left out in the bush, and it only had minor surface rust, the wood was just a strong as when it rolled out of the original factory. Definitely an excellent piece of kit.

Googled around for you but I could only find some for cheap on ebay

these guys want 50$ for an unissued '67

Thanks Acid_Snake

Will probably buy one from armynavysales.com

30$ is not that bad if its a genuine one.
