WWII British Pattern 1937 Entrenching Tool (Pick) with Carrier – Dated 1941

Step back into WWII history with this authentic British Pattern 1937 entrenching tool, dated 1941. This complete set includes the cast iron head, clearly stamped “1941,” a wooden handle (helve), and its original canvas carrier. The head is a classic Pattern 1908 design, reintroduced in 1941, featuring a pointed blade with a circular aperture, allowing it to function as both a spade and a pick mattock. The wooden handle, marked “W.E. 41,” aligns with the head’s production year, indicating it was manufactured during the early years of the war. The canvas carrier, part of the 1937 Pattern webbing system, bears a “G” over “H” marking—likely a manufacturer’s or military acceptance stamp—and shows signs of field use with visible wear. The blade exhibits rust and the canvas is weathered, reflecting its authentic wartime use by British or Commonwealth soldiers. A versatile tool for digging trenches, foxholes, or latrines, this entrenching tool is a must-have for collectors of British WWII militaria, offering a tangible connection to the soldiers who relied on it in the field.
