The securing strap is also marked \u003cstrong\u003eR.I.A. 1909\u003c\/strong\u003e, a great detail showing that this is a matching set, but the strap is a bit stiff. All components of this entrenching tool are offered in heavily service-used condition. The hanger of the carrier has very heavy oxidation as shown, but there’s what appears to be period paper and twine tied around it.
