An original Dragon Models 1/6 scale reproduction of the WWII U.S. Army folding entrenching tool, complete with its correct canvas shovel cover, accurately representing the late-war M1943 pattern used by American infantry forces during World War II.
This Dragon-produced example features the correct oval shovel blade, finished in dark OD green, paired with a wooden handle with rounded knob and proper metal collar construction. The included canvas cover is faithfully executed with period-correct stitching, belt attachment, and a stenciled “U.S.” marking—hallmarks of Dragon’s well-regarded WWII field gear accuracy.
Entrenching tools were a vital part of every U.S. soldier’s kit, used to dig foxholes, improve defensive positions, and perform countless daily field tasks. From the beaches of Normandy and the bocage of France to Italy and the forests of the Ardennes, the E-tool was a constant companion of the American infantryman.
