WW II WW2 Original German Wehrmacht soldier folding trench shovel

WW2 Original German Wehrmacht soldier folding trench shovel. The original relic was found during excavations of Wehrmacht combat positions in the Kurland pocket. The relic is cleaned of corrosion, painted with primer.

The handle is a replica made of birch according to the correct dimensions. No different from the original. Yes, the relic looks good. It will fit on a shelf or on a mannequin with uniform.

But I would not dig with it. Although the metal of the shovel blade is still strong.
