Rare Pioneer Klauenbeil with issue carrier marked E.O. BLN 42

Rare original German Klauenbeil in its original Presstoff carrying pouch. The pouch and the axe are in very good unissued condition which is very rare with such a versatile item. Most if not all of these found their way into civilian life after the war meaning they where used up. The axe was stocked post war in another army and therefor is still in great condition. The buckle and two studs on the cover where overpainted in green but this can easily be cleaned if desired. The axe comes with its original blade and handle and is still sharp. The cover is a typical second pattern and is without damage. This example is textbook in every way and would be impossible to upgrade.
