Finnish E-Tool - recent find
Bought this one today (1916 marked) for about 35$ with the leather hanger (also SA stamped but hard to show on the picture)
It seems that russians made a mistake while copying the suomi mag for ppsh - there is no chahce to hang mine on the original finnish hook ; (
Have you got any original photo with this one used?

Gruss gott
Below are pics of my entrenching tool i use for German reenactment
which i believe to be Finnish.?
I bought it from E-Bay early last year with the description it was German,
but on closer inspection especially the stamp/markings i found it was not.
As i say i think it is Finnish or Swedish and the maker marks say:
A. BARISWYL

UEBERSTORF
Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated
(see-below)
Regards Peiper
