This is a custom-made accessory for a toy minifigure, designed to represent a military entrenching tool, also known as an e-tool or spade.
The accessory is a miniature replica of a short shovel. It features a square-tipped metal blade, a wooden handle, and a distinctive D-shaped metal grip at the end. It is sized to be held or carried by a standard minifigure.
Background: The entrenching tool was a fundamental piece of equipment for infantry soldiers throughout the 20th century, including both World Wars. Its primary function was for digging defensive positions such as trenches, foxholes, and weapon emplacements. It was also used for various field tasks like burying waste or clearing obstacles. Due to its sturdy construction and sharp edge, it could also serve as a desperate close-combat weapon. This accessory is essential for adding detail to minifigures representing infantry soldiers, pioneers, combat engineers, or even civilian laborers.
