Seph,
Is there any source for correct shovels? Long type not the e-tool you carry with you. Is there anything that is even close since I doubt originals are around in any kind of serviceable shape. Would be handy to have for digging while the event is going on.

Good deal. Looks like the IMA shovels will work out great. NO DATES! Thanks for the information.

"... There are a couple of versions, but the ones we require have a simple 'T' handle. There are differences found within the various examples, but these are purely minor and reflect the various manufacturers idiosincreties... hardly worth mention actually....." Seph, It may be worth mentioning that a number of the later (WW2 & post) tools have the woodwork painted vehicle green, but a little elbow grease & paint stripper will bring them to GW spec - if one is inclined so to do. The same also applies to the 'felling' axes which can still be found (and which were part of the company store). Any help? Tom |

If you ever make any progress in the shovel department, please let me know. I'd be interested in one or two (assuming I can document American useage).

OK- missed the part about IMA. It must be all the crap I've gotten from them over the years...  |

I like the price already and being "new", less prone to breakage (unless it's "Hecho in China"). Keep us posted.

Oh yeah...new is much better (well maybe??).
Would be interested in one for sure.
