Henry 24th Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Was found alongside an American M-1928 e-tool carrier that it fits into. Anyone have any clue where it may have come from?There is a good chance it may be Imperial Russian. I have one similar to yours with russian writing on it, and the drilled out hole. Perhaps some of the Russian collectors on this forum can say for sure, but I have been told that the imperial E-tools were marked with the imperial eagle. When there were reissued to soviet troops, the eagle was drilled out.Hope this helps. Regards...henry
landsknechte Posted March 4, 2007 Author Posted March 4, 2007 On another forum where I have this posted, someone has an identical example, but stamped in such a way as to suggest it was Finnish. Of course, the Finns used plenty of captured equipment, so that may not even make a difference. I hadn't noticed it initially, but the edges were sharpened (obviously not recently).
